This show was a blessing to TV during and post pandemic. It's so silly. There is a girl group of 5 singers (Girls 5 Eva) who had a hit in the late 90s but their album tanked in 2001 because they released a song about "flying planes in our hearts" on September 10th. Now 4 of them are in their 40s and one of them died (or did she find out in season 2) and is now a bench, but is still very present in the group. Their hit from 1999 got sampled by lil stinker and they took this as a sign to reunite and be a girl group again.
This is a Tina Fey comedy, so if you love joke joke joke, this is the show for you. Creator Meredith Scardino is also super funny.
The cast features many accomplished Broadway performers: Ashley Park, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Sara Bareilles, Erika Henningsen, and Andrew Rannells. So sufficed to say the songs are amazing they are composed by Richard Simmons with lyrics by some of the funniest writers in the business.
They also write full length songs using the end credits so be sure to watch the end credits of the show to hear even longer versions of the funniest songs to make tv. They also release an album. The one thing I'm mad about is Season 1 episode 3 had 3 potentially album worthy songs, even though the instrumentals are played in the background at times, I would like to hear Alf Musik's full songs. New York Lonely Boy resonates with New Yorkers but I also loved the invisible woman song and the sidepeices song. Mostly the invisible visible woman song.
