Writers on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown

The pressure is starting to get to Kay and Bobby—or maybe it’s just the caffeine—as they write the book, lyrics, and score for the first act of a musical that everyone thinks is based on the highest grossing movie of all time, but secretly… isn’t. Luckily, they have a brand-new science consultant joining the team to lead the way in the form of… “Dear Evan Hansen” star Andrew Barth Feldman? Producer’s Cheryl and Steve love this new addition to the team. Kay and Bobby do not. And Emma Olivia has a few demands that must be met before signing on to the role she’s forced everyone to hire her for, including the creation of a Schmackery’s blue-sprinkled cookie in her honor.
