Adrift in Macao
Hilarious New Musical
Jan 4 - Feb 3, 2008Book and Lyrics by Christopher Durang
Music by Peter Melnick
Directed and Choreographed by Stephen Terrell^
Musical Direction by Jonathan Goldberg
Zany playwright Christopher Durang (Miss Witherspoon) celebrates the beloved film noir genre in this hilarious and boisterous new musical, mixing farce, camp, and tongue-in-cheek wit in his trademark style. It's 1952 in the Far East - an era of shadowy settings, sultry women, and mysterious, trench-coated villains in back alleys. Peter Melnick, grandson of composer Richard Rodgers, contributes a score that evokes the sounds of Kurt Weill, big bands, and smoky nightclubs.
