I needed that "Nothing Ever Happens on Mars" reminder. Great writing, Molly!

I suspect that a lot of Blaine's budget went towards that one number.

... a BRIGHT copper penny...! An elegant post, Corky must inhabit the character the way he was MEANT to be played

It was a master class in choreography... and the makeup on Corky!

I love Penny for Your Thoughts so much that I had my friend play a pretty piano-only version while I walked down the aisle at my wedding. And, my friend and I added those synchronized kicks (though I can NOT kick as high as Parker Posey) to an Off-Broadway show we were in. This post has made me so happy.

Wowww you adapted this for your wedding! That is the highest Waiting For Guffman praise!! I kind of wish you had added the synchronized kicks to your wedding as well, but I get it, Off Broadway show is probably the better venue for those. :D

Thank you for reading! Your workshop helped me (high-)kick off this Substack, so it's wonderful to hear that you've enjoyed this post.
