What's this? A brand new musical opening on Broadway this fall without star casting and that isn't based on a movie or a superhero?

You might remember LJ from the cross the board set of raves it got early this summer. Well, she's on the Varsity Team on Broadway now . . . and we've got two free tickets to give away!
Here's how to win your two tickets to Lysistrata Jones on Broadway:
