Star Machine

Show Description:

It’s the summer of 2002 when an outrageous new TV talent show called Star Machine becomes a runaway sensation. Sisters Jaz and Nikki audition for the show together but with different motives: Jaz wants the crown because she craves fame no matter the cost, while Nikki competes to gain approval from music industry elites. Week by week, they claw their way toward superstardom. But even if Jaz and Nikki manage to beat out the competition, will achieving their dreams feel as satisfying as they imagine?

Infused with an early 2000s pop energy, the new original musical Star Machine is a reflection on ambition that poses universal questions about the creative life. How does an artist define success? And in the end, is the journey actually the destination?
