Underdogs: A Musical

"Fame" meets "Schmigadoon!" meets "Glee" in this new musical featuring original songs and hilarious parodies of some of your favorite musical theater classics. Starring Alan Cumming, Bebe Neuwirth, Gaten Matarazzo, and a full cast.

Break out your character shoes, grab your sheet music, and hop on the next flight to Newark, New Jersey, because audition day is here at the most prestigious performing arts high school in the world: Newark Airport High!

This year, four first-year students—Maya, Evelyn, Bryce, and Darren—are determined to make their mark by being cast in the mainstage show Les Disposablés (or Les Dis for short, because who has time for all those syllables when you're racing to dance class?). But standing between them and center stage is a formidable force: Mr. Jeremy, this year's mainstage director. Suddenly, our rising stars find themselves in an unfamiliar role for the very first time... Underdogs.

Will raw talent and determination be enough to help our foursome rise above the competition (and the airport noise)? Find out in Underdogs: A Musical, a celebration of friendship, ambition, and the power of finding your voice.

Stay tuned after the credits to listen to your favorite songs from Underdogs: A Musical! - “Betrayed” - “Roll The Dice” - “Fridge is Closed Tight” - “Put it All Together” - “Heck Week” - “Big City Airport Town” - “Day of the Show” - “Les Diz Medley” - “Life on Newarkonia” - “This is Our Song"

heartfelt and good pacing

this was a fun departure wouldn't mind a sequel or television crossover. good reminder that the good guys win in the end.

Great Performance

Pleasantly surprised and completely impressed. Underdogs was great some of the songs were a tiny bit corny in a couple places. Regardless the story was moving and thoroughly enjoyable. Musical performances were immersive and sounded fantastic. Clearly professional production here. Everything sounded real and each of the cast members performed flawlessly.
All in all Underdogs is a great little book.
Kudos to the cast.

So fun!

This was a fun and inventive radio musical. Wonderful and wonderfully distinct voices! Very enjoyable and clever

More please!

Wow an incredible cast and an amusing story, I’d happily listen to more of these!

Good job Audible!

It was nice and clean. I enjoyed listening to every minute of it. I especially liked the song recaps at the end.
