The 30-minute long mini-musicals gave the four participating campuses a choice between writing an original dramatic or a comedic musical. Brooklyn College’s piece was internet-themed with two teenagers who have been sucked into cyberspace, Mark Zuckerberg as the antagonist and YouTube, Hulu, Twitter and “LOLCAT” as supporting characters. Baruch’s musical was about a hapless college student trying to ask the girl of his dreams out on a date and failing miserably each time. Although Queens College’s musical was about the apocalypse as an asteroid was due to collide with the earth, it drew laughs with how the characters tried to live their last days to their absolute fullest. Ultimately, Hunter’s show stealing musical was about four tourists seeing New York for the first time with the group dwindling gradually as each naïve member is slowly assimilated into the bustling world of business, the society of hipsters and an eastern European culture mecca.
