Always Sad, Always Happy

Always Sad, Always Happy is the tenth episode of Off Book: The Improvised Musical, and features guest Will Hines. The musical follows Katrina Catamaloon, a citizen of Copenhagen, Denmark who tears her stomach muscle from laughing too much. For her own health, she is forced to move to neighboring town, Sadsalot, which is completely devoid of joy. 
== Episode Description ==
Will Hines (Screw It We're Just Gonna Talk About the Beatles) joins Zach and Jess for the new musical "Always Sad, Always Happy": a tale of spies, ruptured organs, bread, and of course… love. "We Really Hit the Mark in Denmark," "Sneaky Smiley Spy," and "Starcrossed Lovers" are just some of the stand out numbers in this show of Shakespearean-proportions.Official Episode Description

== Trivia ==
* The term for Off Book listeners, Sleepy Babies, originates in this episode. Before the final ad break, Zach and Jess bid the listeners goodnight, but Jess protests and forbids Zach from tucking the listeners in. Jess is worried that some people listen to the show while driving, and encouraging them to sleep would be unsafe. After the closing song, they wish the listeners goodnight again and sing a lullaby to the "little babies."
* In an Off Book first, recording was stopped part-way through the beginning of the episode as Will Hines' headphones stopped working somewhere around "Which Shade of Jade?"
