Have you seen the news that some experts say there’s a 10% chance that Artificial Intelligence may go rogue and end life as we know it? If so, what better way to go out than by putting on a musical that offers a better way forward?

MetaThing Goes! is a musical comedy for the age of AI that combines the spirit of Schmigadoon with a long-overdue update to the corporate satire of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

A CEO (an old‑school boomer), a mid-level manager (a millennial Japanese American team leader), and a new hire (a Filipino Irish American Gen Z analyst) chase an early AI breakthrough for a quick profit and inadvertently tank the stock market value of the company,

In the aftermath, the CEO learns to let go of control, the manager steps fully into her leadership aspirations, and the new hire finally finds his place in the company and the world. Together they rebuild the product, save the business, and learn that the real innovation isn’t the AI technology but the team they have become.

With original songs that update the Great American Songbook, the show blends classic Broadway themes and sharp corporate satire with an urgent call for a shared commitment to humanity as the way to reclaim our technological future.
