Mac vs. PC: 'Nerds' take the stage in Raleigh
Steve Jobs and Bill Gates face-off in a rap battle. That should be reason enough to see "Nerds."
Posted — UpdatedWhile the two technology titans did not know each other that well, the musical has them as rivals since 1975 when they met at a computer club.
The production is a pre-Broadway engagement, which means that the show is being debuted and tweaked in Raleigh with the intent on taking it to Broadway in the future.
The cast and crew have been in town since earlier this month working on the show. From rewrites to lighting, everything has been taking shape here.
"Nerds" stars "American Idol" runner-up Diana DeGarmo along Broadway favorites Darren Ritchie and Leslie Kritzer. We got to see some of the rehearsals last week and it was pretty entertaining to see Bill Gates and Steve Jobs in a rap battle!
Check out our video preview to see more about the show, which runs through Feb. 3. Tickets are still available.
