Students Matt Savarese (Col ’12) and Jeffrey Luppino-Esposito (Col ’11) have created an interactive, online musical that’s posted every week on YouTube. With the help of a nearly 50-member cast and crew, Musical: The Online Musical is performed and filmed during a hectic weekend schedule. The plot is a work in progress—viewers can suggest ideas for what will happen in the following week’s episode. Production is expected to continue throughout the semester and possibly into the spring.

This is such a great project! The songs and acting are great and I love suggesting ideas and seeing them happen- they’re definitely following through with the promise of the project. I’ve been following it all season and it’s amazing that these guys are doing this while still going to school- everyone should check this out, it’s pretty epic!! Can’t wait for next semester to see what they do!
The Online Musical is awesome! I just started watching last week but I’m hooked (I watched the whole season in one sitting!). These guys are definitely crazy talented, y’all should check them out.
