The Roar of the Greasepaint the Smell of the Crowd is ultimately a story of hope. In the aftermath of an event that has upended society, an absurd union is formed. It's a makeshift family of sorts, dysfunctional at best, often cruel, mostly ridiculous. This band of survivors operates under a self-imposed system of rules that separates them, creating a tiny universe of have and have-nots. Ultimately,this scrappy and eccentric trio of survivors find hope from the unlikeliest of sources….each other.
Their world may have ended, but songs like "Who Can I Turn To?," "The Joker," "Feeling Good" and "A Wonderful Day Like Today" echo on, welcoming new love and another dawn.
