About the Show

Write a musical and get it on Broadway... maybe in your dreams. But for Marcus and Ken, unknown Aussie natives, it’s a whole new reality. The David and Goliath story has just begun!

Set in New York, New Orleans, LA and Sydney, Angels in New York follows the journey of two rookie Australian producers who dream of taking their unknown musical straight to Broadway.

Meet Marcus Cheong, a graduate Architect, and Ken Lai, an aeronautical engineer, who have dedicated four years to writing the book, music and lyrics for Angels the Musical, heavily influenced by Star Wars, The Matrix, Lord of the Rings and the flying excitement of Cirque de Soleil.  Studying by day and producing musicals for university by night is one thing, but Broadway is another world away!

Their Aussie charm starts to open some doors, a well- known Broadway producer lends a hand, and the Broadway community seems interested... But how good is their musical really?

With only 6 weeks to go before their off-Broadway opening, disaster hits: the stock market crashes and investor funding starts to dry up. The dream looks all but over. Can they recover and go on to make it all the way? Can the phoenix rise from the ashes?
