Publisher's summary

Center of the YOUniverse is an out-of-this-world spectacle starring Tituss Burgess and Jane Krakowski with music, laughter, and (probably) the salvation of humanity from its self-inflicted doom. Unaware of just how brightly the other one shines, Tituss and Jane will attempt the impossible: a double-booking. In a unique blend of song and storytelling, they’ll stop at nothing to upstage each other and steal the spotlight…until they realize the true purpose of being ridiculously attractive and having immeasurable talent: to unite and heal the world. It’s an outrageously fun and weird show full of pop and theatrical duets. A clash of divas and dueling vocals. It’s the show that the world didn’t know it needed until reading this blurb.

Now available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

Super Charming!

Really enjoyed this. Both Jane & Titus are wonderful performers & singers, and this was so fun. Perhaps I just struggled a bit, but occasionally had a hard time catching everything said into the mic, especially if it was in a low aside. Not the worst thing, for sure, but it did mean that I felt like I kept missing some things.

Terribly not funny

The beginning was entertaining and intriguing and was a great build up to absolute nonsense.
