The Office! A Musical Parody

The beloved mockumentary reaches a new level of laughs with The Office! A Musical Parody. Fans of the television series will be happy to know that all their favorite characters are on board, as are some key plot elements. When the original British version of The Office premiered in 2001, it brought something completely new to television comedy. Sure, sitcoms had lampooned office culture before, but never with the cringe-inducing level of awkwardness that creators Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant allowed their characters to display. Then the American Office became an enormous hit series -- and a comedy landmark. In the hands of writers Bob and Tobly McSmith, the stage version adds an unexpected tuneful touch that takes things to another place entirely, and the outrageousness lives on.

The Office! A Musical Parody History

The British send-up of dysfunctional workplace life that was broadcast on BBC from 2001 through 2003 became such a success in America that it couldn't help but inspire a US version. Premiering in 2005, the American Office, starring Steve Carell, lasted for an amazing nine seasons. When Bob and Tobly McSmith took the stateside sitcom series and created a theatrical version, the pair had already let their satirical minds loose on musical takeoffs of everything from Friends to Full House, so by the time they tackled The Office, they were fully primed. But this is far from just a stage re-creation. As a musical parody, the production mines the medium for even more comic gold -- and gives you something to hum on the way home. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the series or getting introduced to the characters for the first time, The Office! A Musical Parody will prove that however insane your own workplace may seem to you, it's comparatively a whole lot more normal than you may think.

    A must-see for all Office fans!

    by J. on 2/5/19The Theater Center - New York

    If you are a fan of the show, this is a hysterical and entertaining recap. If you haven’t seen the show, you’ll probably be confused a lot of the time but it’s still entertaining.

    Great for Fans!

    by L. W. on 1/29/19The Theater Center - New York

    Show covered so many of the funniest moments. The actors were great and really captured some of the “quirks”. I’d highly recommend!

    Embarrassed

    by P. on 1/29/19The Theater Center - New York

    50 years of going to the theatre and I believe this to be a top contender for the worst musical of all time. I left at intermission because I was embarrassed to be there giving witness to the fact that I paid money to see this debacle.

    Great for tourists and kids

    by Kate on 1/23/19The Theater Center - New York

    This off off off Broadway parody is exactly that. They take every joke from the series and cram it down your throats in less than two hours, whether it made sense in context or not. Great theatre in the round experience where the actors are right in front of you, but hard to hid your uncomfortable smile.

    I’m still laughing

    by AUJ on 1/23/19The Theater Center - New York

    If you love the office you will love this show! All your familiar characters doing what they do best... making you laugh. If you’ve never seen the Office you will enjoy a comedy about life in a business office.

    An Office Fan's Paradise!

    by D. on 1/18/19The Theater Center - New York

    Love the Jerry Orbach Theater in The Theater Center- there really isn't a bad seat. This Office Musical Parody was excellent! Besides the obvious revisit to the most beloved characters, there are TONS of little comments or lyrics referring to all seasons and episodes. You are laughing, but desperately trying to hold it in so you can hear the next line! All the actors double (or triple, or quadruple...) up on roles, but they hit all the gestures and inflections of each one. Sarah Mackenzie Baron does an AMAZING Michael Scott! I could not get enough of her boundless energy and hilarious facial expressions. Watching her is like seeing inside the brain of Steve Carell's version. You have to go more than once to catch more of the snappy in-jokes and appreciate the choreography of the rolling toilet ballad! Loved it!

    Funniest and most Thoughtful Show

    by Shay on 1/16/19The Theater Center - New York

    I really enjoyed seeing this. I gave this as a gift to my boyfriend for Christmas because we both love The Office. I didn't know what to expect but the cast and performance blew me away. It was so funny and they put in funny quotes and things that only true fans would pick up on. It made me laugh a lot and the songs went perfect with the story-line. They used every little funny thing from almost every episode. If you love The Office you will love this play. If they had a second part with more scenes I would definitely pay to go see more!

    Fun night with my son

    by Bandito 4 Life on 1/5/19The Theater Center - New York

    Took my 15 year old son, who is a huge The Office fan to see this on New Year's Day. We had a blast. The actors were hysterical, and had amazing voices. We loved being so close to them! Great bonding time with my teen.

    AMAZING!

    by JessicaV on 1/2/19The Theater Center - New York

    I was really nervous about this show just because my husband and I are such big fans of The Office (like finish the serious on Netflix and just start it again). This show really blew my mind. It was truly a tribute/parody of the show. You have to have watched The Office in order to get the jokes which made it even better. The theater room is small, so our front row seats were truly front row! I've told everybody about this. If I ever go back to New York, I will probably see it again. I still can't get over how good it was.

    Hilarious Tribute to The Office

    by Brett Fan From the Beginning on 12/30/18The Theater Center - New York

    If you are an Office junkie like so many of us, then you will love this Musical Parody. A total mishmash of all the major story lines throughout the years. The characters are great. The songs are funny and just the right number of them through the production. I highly recommend it!

    Fantastic show!

    by Dwigt on 10/28/18The Theater Center - New York

    As a pretty big fan of the tv show The Office, I was nervous about what the musical would be like. Thankfully, it blew my expectations out of the water. The cast is phenomenal, and the smaller venue makes for a very cool and intimate experience. I was so impressed by the way they wove the plot points together and were able to highlight many of the best jokes from the tv show in such a short amount of time (and in a way that felt coherent and seamless). If you're a fan of the tv show, I highly recommend you take the time to go see The Office Musical. The best way I can describe it is that you basically feel like you're in a small theater with a bunch of your closest friends reliving all of your favorite inside jokes. You don't want to miss it!
