Dick and his band of generic employees are back. It’s time to restructure - ahem, again - with a completely new show of riotous musical sketch-comedy from the team that brought you the runaway 2024 hit, H.R. The Musical.
Onboarding genres including funk, Renaissance, disco, latin, and oonst-oonst, and work stories crowd-sourced from real-life human resources, these People take the 9-to-5-and-beyond Culture and see what’s barely working while working comedy magic.
Perfect for your office or client Christmas party, your team night on the comedy razz, or even your 1:1 occupational therapy session, H.R. The Musical #2is for anyone who’s ever had a job, or thought about getting one.
Reapply for your position now and we won’t put you through the recruitment ringer at all.
