The Blur

or

How To Marry a Billionaire

Words and Music by

Peter Wing Healey

When Maritza Plunck, a Vice President at a major bank, hires a temp for the week she is firmly convinced he is writing a Broadway Show.  She has no idea that she is harboring the fugitive CEO, Lad Tusselhof, who has lost track of his trillion dollars.   Lad was famous for working so hard that photographs of him always came out as a BLUR.  His quest to regain his money starts with hacking into Maritza's computer and bumping her salary up to 365 million dollars – throwing multitudes out of work, canceling pensions and destroying lives in a matter of seconds.  Maritza accepts the money, turning a blind eye to its provenance.  

Meanwhile, Sally, her secretary, is actually Lad's former administrator.  She holds the secrets to his missing fortune and the emals that will clear his name.  Soon they are joined by Baron Vanderzoo, a mere millionaire - he's not a billionaire! - (he's the tenor) and they're off to Playa Del Carmen for the International Aggressiveness Convention run by the Queen of Aggressiveness, Dagmar Dragmach, who quickly realizes who Lad really is.  It all ends with embedded crews, a White House Page, the Green Berets and machine guns at an ancient Maya temple.  

In a corporate caper tinted with Viennese operetta influences that takes Overcompensation

to the dizzying heights it was born to inhabit, The Blur, asks us to open our eyes a little wider on our "Gilded Age".
