Andrew Lippa's The Wild Party

Book, Lyrics and Music by Andrew Lippa, Based on a poem by Joseph Moncure March

January 12 - February 11, 2007

The Circuit Playhouse, 1705 Poplar Ave. Memphis, TN

A riveting award-winning score drives a pulsating tale of runaway passions out of control. Set amidst the decadent revelry of the Roaring 1920s, searing torch songs compliment a non-stop musical marathon of hedonistic merriment as sexually charged party guests savor the live-for-the-moment fervor that defined the age of Jazz. Evoking the sound and style of a bygone era, this wildly entertaining party captures the exhilarating thrill of a care-free decade while providing a warning to the present one: fanning the flames of love may ignite a fire of jealousy, self-destruction, and dangerous consequences.
