Welcome to the Big Show

Hi there, my name's Kevin. That little picture there, right there to the right of these words, that is the first EVER official picture posted of the Unauthorized! family in action.  Yeah, its a little blurry but what do you expect?  It's the first official picture.  Of course, back then we weren't quite a family yet.  More like a small group of artists/comedians/crazy people out to have a good time and put on a show worth watching.

From there we have grown into a company with over 30 members and production staff.  Four full-length parody musicals featuring all original songs.  Rehearsals, shows, schmoozing, boozing, and late night choreography run throughs all to get us to where we are now.  But we aren't anywhere near done.

We're taking things to the next level.  Upping production value, writing new shows, adding all new types of content to our arsenal (sketch shows, short films!), and investing time we didn't even know we had to make sure Unauthorized! becomes everything it can be.  

This cute little website is a part of that.  The master plan to find a way where we can keep giving you gifts in the form of hilarious live musical parodies based on movies you love while also still being able eat three meals a day (or two with a snack time in there somewhere).  Because, while there is nothing on earth we would rather be doing, you are the one we are doing it for.  Whether you are a stranger or a dear friend, thank you, and welcome to our world we made just for you.

Now that we have gotten introductions and other niceties out of the way, we can get this show on the road!  

But first, a warning:  Spending time with the Unauthorized! family can wind up being a pretty wild ride.  So, you had better buckle up and get ready to holler, because we can't guarantee your safety but we can guarantee you will have one hell of a good time.

Life is Parody.
