Star Machine: A New Musical

A NEW MUSICAL

A NEW MUSICAL

Plain Envelope Line Style

Jaz and Nikki are a talented sister act striving to break into the LA music scene in the summer of 2002 Jaz craves stardom no matter the cost But Nikki insists that creative control comes first even if that means no one hears their music When Jaz lands on an ridiculous American Idol like TV talent show this conflict tears them apart Punctuated by early aughts pop nostalgia and cameos from the likes of Lance Armstrong and Bernie Madoff Star Machine chronicles the triumphs and rock bottoms of a young performer navigating one of the most ridiculous arenas of show biz The show is a reflection on ambition that poses a universal question for all creatives how do you strike a balance between commercial success and art
