Office Space: The Musical

Book and Lyrics by Greg Edwards, Music by Zak Sandler

Adapted from a Screenplay by Mike Judge

Based on the 1999 cult comedy, Office Space: The Musical tells the story of Peter Gibbons, a disgruntled office worker, who after a near-death-by-nacho experience, rejects the corporate world, lives by his own rules, and finds unexpected love and undeserved success along the way.
