About the Music
Clusterpuck! was written in a two weeks with Olivia being the head of songwriting. The song “You Fly” sung by Fairy #5 is a parody of jazz club songs co written by Olivia Berkson and Sofia Marchese. It focuses on the comedic fact that in plays the side characters are only known by their numbers and not names. While the deeper song “Growing Up” serves as a call to action to main character Puck who realizes he has to fix the mess that he created.
