With book, music and lyrics by Scott Miller, ATTEMPTING THE ABSURD is one of the first truly postmodern meta-musicals (written 1986-1992, debuted 1992), about a young man named Jason who has figured out that he's only a character in a musical and doesn't actually exist; and his special knowledge has persuaded those around him that he's off his nut. Jason is a fictional character in the real world, but all the people around him are real people in a fictional world. So he sets off on a quest to find The Answers To It All, with his musical comedy sidekick, Chaz. Along the way the two find love (both gay and straight), community theatre friends, a little jail time, and ultimately irrefutable proof that Jason is right after all. Love and a copy of the script to Attempting the Absurd conquer all, and all ends as it should, with a happy, full company reprise.Songs include \"I Love You,\" \"Being in a Musical,\" \"The City,\" \"Waltz for Chaz,\" \"Worse Things,\" \"The Optimistic Song,\" \"Old-Fashioned Musicals,\" \"The Big Finish,\" and lots more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1721987347\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781721987344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.19d","brand":"Scott Miller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46867089522943,"sku":"9781721987344","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_01cbb7ae-e4ec-4324-9c91-a76af2e4ce6c.jpg?v=1747453867","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/attempting-the-absurd-vocal-selections-scott-miller-9781721987344","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
