Event Description:
July 8 - August 16, 2026 THE WILD PARTY Book, Music & Lyrics by Andrew Lippa Directed by SEAN HARRIS, Choreographed by DARLENE ZOLLER, Music Direction by COLIN BRITT The Wild Party plunges audiences into the heart of the roaring 1920s, where jazz, lust, and danger collide. Queenie and Burrs are a dysfunctional couple of vaudeville performers whose relationship teeters on the brink. In an attempt to salvage their passion, they throw a lavish, anything-goes party in their Manhattan apartment. The parade of colorful and unpredictable guests includes a provocative stranger who catches Queenie’s eye and ignites Burrs’ jealousy. What begins as a night of carefree indulgence turns into a tense and dangerous game where loyalties are tested, secrets come to light, and relationships spiral out of control. This darkly brilliant show offers a captivating look at the dangers of excess, love, and betrayal, set to a sensational jazz score. "The show boasts a stridently pulsating score – an inspired melding of Elmer Bernstein’s jazzy-noir soundtracks and Kander and Ebb’s brassy cynicism.” - New York Post
