About Me

Once upon a time, a man named Tom started an online community called MySpace. It has since become the preeminent networking tool for musicians, comedians, filmmakers, actors, singers and people in general. All around the world, people are joining MySpace by the millions. It has become a cultural phenomenon. We’ve decided to musicalize it.

The premise: Eight strangers search for their true identities using MySpace as a tool to find themselves. These eight characters, based on people you might meet on MySpace, come together on stage for a hilarious yet thought provoking night of musical comedy. They are all from different walks of life. But they seek one thing in common; Approval.
But before we launch the show live on stage, you’ll get to watch portions of the show unfold right here on MySpace! That’s right! Music videos of the show’s songs will be produced and uploaded in their appropriate order...right here on this profile. There will be some fun contests for all of our viewers along the way. Just like the show, the developmental process will be interactive as well!
As for the 8 characters, be sure to check out their profiles! They ARE our TOP 8 friends. Watch as these characters vie for your approval in an effort to convince you that they’re worthy of being on your Top 8!
