The show reunites Brightman with composer Drew Gasparini to tell the story of Nickelodeon host Marc Summers. Playing New World Stages, the production began performances February 14.

Part interactive game show, part memoir, The Life and Slimes of Marc Summers follows the infamous host from the set of the children's game show Double Dare to the Food Network, where he has now worked for more than 20 years. Starring Summers, the production relies heavily on audience participation to bring iconic moments in television history to life.
