Paul Gordon's new musical follows four characters grappling with obscurity and the fear of being forgotten. One character laments being no one special, while another riffs on undiscovered talent and a lost 1953 Nebraskan playwright, as the dialogue circles back to existential doubt and the hunger for recognition.

Look, why are you here? You're not well, you know that, right?
Actually, Ben, you're not well.
And I guess it's sad, I guess it's too bad that I am no one special.
You're going through a transition, and some of us were sent here to help you. And your life's crap, isn't it? I mean, no one's ever heard of you.
What difference does that make?
Well, it makes a difference to you, mate. There was a woman from Nebraska in 1953. She wrote a play that Ibsen would have killed to write, but she did not believe she was a writer. Threw everything away. No one's read a single sentence to this day. The undiscovered. So many of them.
The undiscovered.
What a waste.
Are you one of the undiscovered?
I invented the wheel. Try getting credit for that.
The most important thing to know, in fact the only way to grow, is to know No, in fact, we don't know anything. No, not anything at all.
Divine intervention? Every now and then.
