Welcome to the bonkers alternate universe of industrial musical theater, presented by Letterman and Simpsons writer Steve Young. Steve discovered corporate musicals while gathering obscure albums for the Letterman show’s "Dave's Record Collection" comedy bit. Years later, Steve is the world's authority on the bizarrely entertaining shows created for company conventions and sales meetings from the 50’s to the 80’s that the public was never meant to see or hear.

Steve, the star of Dava Whisenant’s award-winning documentary Bathtubs Over Broadway, loves to bring the jaw-dropping delights of industrial musicals to audiences around the country, featuring ultra-rare films from his collection that can’t be seen anywhere else. Thrill to cheerfully twisted in-house musical propaganda from General Electric, Kellogg’s, American-Standard, Citgo, Purina, and more, with Steve’s affectionately snarky commentary (and even a bit of live music). It’s a secret world of Americana that will astonish, amuse, perplex — and just might make you want to go out and sell, sell, sell!

STEVE YOUNG is a comedy writer known for his work with David Letterman, Matt Groening, and Lorne Michaels. Steve has received multiple Emmy and Writers Guild Award nominations, as well as an Annie Award for his animation writing. Film rights to Steve’s book about the secret world of corporate musicals were purchased by Steven Spielberg's company Amblin Entertainment. The book also inspired Focus Features’ critically-acclaimed documentary BATHTUBS OVER BROADWAY, starring Steve, which won numerous awards and which can be seen on Amazon, Apple, and other platforms.
