Oh so many things off here:
- the "Showgirls" staging of whatever that Bruno Mars revue thing was;
- the villainous assistant realizing "he thought of the musical" thanks to his evil boozing pothead dumpster friends;
- manhattan : "Smash" :: slushee : "Glee";

Never watched this show before, but how on earth does hitting up rich friends for money make someone qualified in business?

I love Amy Sedaris. I love Parker Posey. I do not love them on this show.
