The one-time-only, first-of-its-kind production will feature Charmin in the starring "roll," with Broadway actors paying homage to the top-billing toilet paper brand though a handful of show-stopping musical numbers. Talented loo-loving thespians will sing and dance to all-things-potty, taking the audience on various bathroom adventures throughout New York City during the holiday season. Musical numbers performed to the tune of familiar Broadway and hit pop-culture songs, coupled with toilet-paper-fashioned props, are guaranteed to "bring the house down."

"For four consecutive years, Charmin has been providing tourists and local New Yorkers with a free, clean and family-friendly place to 'enjoy the go'," said Jacques Hagopian, brand manager for Charmin. "Broadway is such a popular attraction in New York City during the holiday season, we thought there was no better way for visitors to 'enjoy the go' than by bringing all the excitement of a Broadway musical to the Restroom experience."

Charmin worked with non-profit partner Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS to develop the show's content and relied on the non-profit's expertise to direct and cast the production. Their mission is to mobilize the unique abilities within the entertainment industry to mitigate the suffering of individuals affected by HIV/AIDS.
