Luxury Problems embodies the heart and soul of our great American city, and everything we love and hate about it. It’s “How to Succeed in Business” for the millennial whose last memory of national disaster wasn’t World War 2, but the financial crisis.
In 362 Park Avenue, we follow the lives of three protagonists: 1. Manny, a doorman desperate to change his life, 2. Cindy, a sunny mountain girl confronted with the cutthroat nature of corporations; and 3. Jessica, a wealthy divorcee with a desire to fit in again.
It’s a unique, musical send-up of New York and the beast of a system that our audiences contend with every day. Luxury Problems offers a peek and a wink into New York, with their heiresses, singing proudly about helping the needy as a means of getting popular, and a wink, as the over-caffeinated Jeffrey Tracey plods around his office with his overmedicated employees. What are these all but "Luxury Problems", all in their own way, some that we make, but all that through this marvelous book and its music, are we permitted, for once, to acknowledge and to laugh.
