The Jordan & Avery Show
or Let Me Go Kill Myself Real Quick
Book, Music & Lyrics by Jay Adana
The Jordan & Avery Show is a darkly hilarious new musical about two broke roommates who go viral, sell their souls to the algorithm, and discover that fame is a terrible antidote for grief. When their eviction remix explodes online, sudden success turns into a pressure cooker of ambition, addiction, and emotional avoidance. A blistering, funny, and devastating look at internet celebrity, chosen family, and what happens when survival becomes performance.
Developed at The Eugene O'Neill Theater Center’s 2022 National Musical Theater Conference (as The Jordan & Avery Show) directed by Jess McLeod.
