A backer's audition - for an $83.5 million, twelve hour stage history of the world from creation to the present - sets the scene. Eighteen side-splitting musical numbers portray Adam and Eve, Attila the Hun, the building of the pyramids, Julius Caesar, Columbus, and countless others. We, the potential investors, get a taste of the impending extravaganza through the historical hilarity that ensues as the creators of this uproarious show try to convince us of its merits.
Think: Greater Tuna meets The Producers.

Jed Feuer
Born in Los Angeles in 1948, Jed Feuer was moved to New York City at the age of two weeks. By the age of eight, Jed was making rapid progress under the tutelage of the legendary Joe Wilder. Piano studies followed shortly thereafter and led to studies in harmony, theory, counterpoint and composition. In 1982, his first Off-Broadway musical, American Princess, was produced. In 1983, he underscored a London production of Prometheus Bound. A succession of theatre, film and television scores followed.
