Welcome to life beneath the wicked stage!

Stephen Sheerin was born to play on Broadway—or at least, under it. He’s a musician, a conductor, and his dream is to music direct a big Broadway musical. After years of toiling in the pit of some of the best-loved (and loathed) hits on the Great White Way, he’s just been given his big break. Can life really be going that well? Of course not—his family is driving him crazy and his boyfriend can’t seem to get rid of his other boyfriend. Then there’s Stephen himself—neurotic and bitchy—who realizes that maybe total happiness is over-rated.

Seth Rudetsky has played piano in the pits of over a dozen Broadway shows as well as writing and starring off-Broadway in Rhapsody in Seth. As a comic he was voted "The Funniest Gay Male in New York" Currently he is a DJ on Sirius Satellite Radio.
