Rent to be followed by a Wild Party

I'm excited to announce to my audience of 0 that after Rent closes, I will be moving almost straight away to MD the Australasian Premeire of Michael LaChuisa's "The Wild Party"

Based of a 1930's poem, two musicals were spawned within the same year. LaChuisa's version is the more 'intense', heavy musical theatre piece, considered to be true-er (is there such a word?) to the original poem.

It picked up a total of 7 nominations in the 2000 season of Tony's, including Best Book, Best Score and Best New Musical.

It's got a very Sondheim-esque score, putting it right in my camp of styles I love!

Incidentally, we get one week between Rent closing and auditions start for Wild Party, meaning this will be the fastest turn-around I've ever had to learn a score!!
