Boyband Breakup is a mystery musical sketch show about the chaotic, on-stage collapse of multi-ethnic boyband, the Groove Guys. The question is, who causes the breakup?! Sing along to parodies of your favorite boyband songs from Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Boyz II Men and New Edition as the mystery of who breaks up the band unfolds live on stage.
The show takes place at the first concert of the Groove Guys’s 10 year reunion tour. Watch the personalities and media personas of each member come to a head as the band reminisces and re-litigates their past, in full view of the audience during the concert. With flashback sketches to the good old days and brand new song releases (parodies of your favorite boyband songs from Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Boyz II Men and New Edition), the show unfolds like a murder mystery as they try to answer the question: who killed the institution, the backbone of all art, the least harmonious most harmonizing music that defined a generation? Who ended the boyband?
Written by Izaak Sunleaf and Ja-Ron Young, and very loosely based on their experiences being profiled as a multi-ethnic musical group, the show explores perceived identity vs real identity – particularly along the lines of race and class – in the dumbest, funniest, most irreverent way possible; with song parodies that slap!
