THE RIGHT: A GAMESHOW MUSICAL
​
"The Right" is a new one-act musical by Val Zvinyatskovsky. It explores the daunting college application journey by placing it within the flashy and high-stakes setting of a gameshow. As two contestants engage in a fierce battle, they strive to navigate each challenge strategically, aiming to secure their coveted program while also grappling to preserve their relationship. With their mutual friend serving as the host, caught in the crossfire of their competition, the very structure of the gameshow may buckle under the weight of this pivotal moment in the characters' lives.
