About the Show

Featured Improvisers

From the minds of MusicalWriters.com’s Rebecca Lowrey and Totally Made-up Musical‘s Billy Betsill, “Oops… We Cut That!” features cut songs from musicals in development followed by improvised scenes to give them new (and almost always ridiculous) context.

How the show works: Singers from the MusicalWriters Ensemble sing the cut song. The improvisers hear the song for the first time. As soon as the song is over, they leap into action and continue the ‘Totally Made-up Musical!’
