SYNOPSIS

This 30-minute single camera comedy centers on the life of 22 year-old Scott Nesterman.  He has looks, brains, a job on Wall street and still lives with his parents on the upper west side of Manhattan. From his old twin bed, he dreams of following his parent's footsteps into the soul sucking, ego crushing, financially ruinous world of Broadway. That should go well.

In this premiere episode, Everett interviews Tony Award winner Kelli O’Hara backstage while she is in the midst of her starring role in Lincoln Center’s production of The King & I.
