The Wild Party
book, music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa
based on the poem by Joseph Moncure March
directed by Allison Arkell Stockman
Lovers Queenie and Burrs fan the flames of their romance by throwing the ultimate bash in their Manhattan apartment. The parade of colorful guests includes a provocative stranger named Black who catches Queenie's eye and sparks Burrs' jealousy. Riding waves of booze and pulsating music, everyone abandons their inhibitions.
This steamy prohibition tale of passion and insatiable appetites features a sensational score including jazz, vaudeville and gospel numbers. Winner of the 2000 Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Outstanding Musical.
Recommended for ages 16+.
Run Time: 2:15, plus one intermission
