Fun Trailer for Indie Dark Comedy THE MUSICAL with Will Brill, Gillian Jacobs and Rob Lowe
A trailer has been released for the indie dark comedy The Musical, starring Will Brill, Gillian Jacobs, Rob Lowe, Cayden Romero, Michael Strassner, and a great ensemble of newcomer kids that seem to give fantastic performances.
The film is directed by Giselle Bonilla, in her feature directorial debut, working from a screenplay written by Alexander Heller.
The synopsis reads: “Convinced he's a big fish stuck in a small pond, playwright Doug Leibowitz (Will Brill) has been marking time as a theater teacher until he can get himself to New York, where serious playwrights live.
“When an unexpected breakup shocks him & he finds out that his ex has been dating the person he hates most in the world – the school principal – his plans turn from purely self-interested... to diabolical.
“With the coveted Blue Ribbon award just within Principal Brady's grasp, Doug secretly has his middle schoolers rehearse & perform a play so inappropriate, the only result could be the complete ruin of the principal's reputation...”
This looks like it’s going to be hilarious with a payoff akin to Little Miss Sunshine if we’re lucky.
The Musical is set to hit select US theaters on September 18th. Check out the trailer below:
