Charlie Greengould Meets Himself: An Original Musical

Charlie Greengould Meets Himself is a full-length original musical written and directed by Nat Leich and Max Nussenbaum and arranged by Zack Sulsky. It was originally performed at Wesleyan University in November 2010.

The show tells the story of Charlie Greengould, a shy, insecure college freshman, struggling to fit in and vying for the affections of a girl who sees him only as a friend. One day, Charlie meets another Charlie Greengould: a cooler, more confident version of himself from a parallel universe, who offers to take his place in challenging social situations.

Soon, with his other self as his social stunt double, Charlie has the girl of his dreams and the reputation he’s always wanted. But when Parallel Charlie’s true intentions are revealed, Charlie is plunged into a solipsistic, multiverse-spanning quest of adventure, romance, and self-discovery.
