WHITE COLLAR PRISON is a musical led by Gregory James Jenkins and Neil Garguilo. They have just released their first single, “If It’s Not Too Much Trouble (You’re Going to Jail),” which gives the term white-collar crime a whole new humorous twist by way of pointed wit underscoring the often unnoticed injustices encountered inside the legal system.
“If It’s Not Too Much Trouble (You’re Going to Jail)” is a satirized detailing of the fall of Congressman Richard Dutch as he is charged or implicated with everything from insider trading to embezzlement. The catchy chorus and lyrics focus on an absurdity in the justice system where wealth does seem to succeed in providing insulation because far too often the guilty don’t face true consequences. Jenkins and Garguilo have teamed up for a production that, while funny, is also thought-provoking in terms of the variances in the dispensation of justice.
And this follows WHITE COLLAR PRISON‘s controversial project, “if it’s not too much trouble,” which has caused quite a stir on the underground circuit. The duo is famed for their biting lyrics and irresistible melodies, beguiling listeners with a vision of a whirlingly spinning underbelly of privilege and social rot. A unique brand of satire and comment in their music is what ascribes to issues related to power and morality.
The two have belted out stand-out, great, and effective music before. Film, television, and digital series’s Emmy Award-winning songwriters are Gregory James Jenkins and Neil Garguilo. The duo has become the pulse of the innovative style with which they tell stories in music, which keeps on redefining the genre time after time.

With performances by Lucas Grabeel, Alex Lewis, Mary Birdsong, Epic Lloyd, and Rob Cantor, all of their meaningful depth and charisma breathed further into the music, better shaping the storyline and emotion.
