Where Be More Chill meets Urinetown, Beyond Perfection is an original story so timely, we’ve been warned to stop writing before more of it becomes true. Ryan and his wife Kate are the flawless faces of Perfection LLC’s government-run marriage program: an algorithmically crafted romance, broadcast for all to see. Their love is scripted, their happiness engineered…until a glitch breaks the illusion. As Ryan spirals, he stumbles into the No-See-Ums encampment, a hidden rebel society in Central Park where outcasts unveil a world: unscripted. Boisterous, funny, and surprising, Beyond Perfection is a zany dystopian musical adventure perfect for our current age.
