“…And Then I Wrote A Song About It” is a one-actor musical about Randall Klausner, an actor-singer-songwriter-dancer-author-personal assistant seeking love, fame and fortune (and his father’s approval) in the late 1970s/early 1980s.  The show begins on the verge of his big break and flashes back to the story of how he got there. At the beginning of his flashback is this song, one he tells the audience he wrote about New Years and submitted to the TV networks – but no one seemed to want it.  It’s also the opening number of the show.
Randall has been looking for love in the gay bar scene and repeatedly has the same experience. After his latest disappointment with a guy he thought would turn out to be "the one," he sings.
"WHAT can YOU write songs about?" - Randall's father's words echo in Randall's head as he wanders the streets of New York to find his answer.
“The Frog and The Witch’ is a musical fairy tale about Wishwell Village, a village blessed with a singing frog named Pyx. In this opening number, the Wishwellers welcome Pyx for his daily concert.
Pyx the frog runs across Lainey, a lost young woman roaming the forest. But she has some information he might need...
When all of a sudden Pyx croaks, the Wishwellers lose interest in him. He later discovers the reason: there's smoke from the chimney of Sorsee the witch, who brews potions (called "poshes") that all the Wishwellers buy and use. Knowing the smoke could also harm the
Wishwellers, he tries to get them to stop buying the poshes. Though he still croaks, he is able to convince some of the Wishwellers – and his new role as environmental advocate makes him popular again. Sorsee the witch is not happy about that. So she finds Pyx and offers him a
special poshe.
In this eleven-o-clock number, or, well since it's a kids show, our 11:45am number, Pyx considers taking the potion.
