Have you ever wondered what Keith Habersberger would look like dressed up as a giant bird dressed up as a man? Well look no further than “Giant Bird in a Man Suit,” performed by Lewberger, in their brand new Off-Broadway show, Lewberger & The Wizard Of Friendship: The Musical.

When best friends and hilarious comedy band Lewberger get into a fight, the rift in their friendship grows so large that it breaks the heart of the Wizard of Friendship. Lewberger is sent on a musical quest in NoFriendia, a wild land of whimsy where they must venture to the intimidatingly Handsome Forest, through the Adults-only Haunted House, and many more amazing places all while being guided by… a giant… sausage (penis?) man.

Lewberger, aka Keith Habersberger, Alex Lewis, and Hughie Stone Fish, are making their Off-Broadway debut at Theatre Row, with the sold-out show currently scheduled through March 26th. Fear not, though! If you don’t already have a ticket, you can catch Lewberger in Concert Saturdays and Sundays throughout the run of the musical.

Last year, they began posting videos on TikTok in which Alex sings the real words to a song while Keith invents new words because he doesn’t know the original. Hughie plays the piano and sings harmony. The results are hilarious, genuine, and delightful. Quickly, the trend pivoted to Broadway song covers and soon the stars were getting in on the game, like Alex Brightman, Julie Benko, Rob McClure, Max Clayton, and more.

You may have seen the trio before. Habersberger is a member of internet sensations The Try Guys, boasting millions of subscribers and their own production company. Lewis is an actor and comedian who can be seen on several TV shows and the movie All About Nina as well as the remake of MGM’s Valley Girl. Fish is an Emmy Award-winning songwriter and a music producer/educator with a nonprofit bringing arts education to his hometown of Syracuse, New York.
