I would love to see this musical play staged. How would they do it? Essentially there is one character a small, pudgy, gay, black man who is an usher at a Disney theater and is writing a play in his hours off. The other "characters" are six different thought voices in the usher's head. The usher has been brought up in a strict religious home and his career and homosexuality are a struggle especially with his mother who wants him to find a girl and write Tyler Perry type plays which he doesn't. His are raw. I get the acclaim but this play will be shocking to many. ( )
