A Spanish immigrant moves to New York dreaming of becoming a Broadway superstar, and accidentally spends the next decade working at the United Nations.

Seduced by diplomatic prestige and exploited by his authoritarian boss, “The Ambassador,” he slowly turns into a jaded bureaucrat haunted by the artistic dreams he keeps postponing.

Blending original music, farce and cabaret, Death by 9 to 5 is a hilarious trip through bureaucracy, burnout, and the dreams we sacrifice for approval, stability, and the lives others imagined for us.
