F#%king Up Everything
A rock musical comedy with heart. And puppets.

F#%KING UP EVERYTHING is the charming rock musical with the name you can’t say in front of your grandmother. This New York Times Critics’ Pick and Off Broadway Alliance nominee for Best New Musical is part romance, part bromance and non-stop fun. Critics are raving about the catchy melodies, clever lyrics and engaging, fresh cast. Follow a group of Brooklyn 20-somethings coming of age, but not before making a mess of their lives. And no one makes a bigger mess than children’s puppeteer Christian Schwartzelberg when he meets the girl of his dreams, the beautiful singer-songwriter Juliana.

It’s no wonder The New York Times calls it “the best musical in town”.
