The Wild Party
Book, Music & Lyrics by Andrew Lippa
In 1920's New York City, a pair of lovers throw a wild, wild party. Ready to break all the rules, the colorful cast of characters is determined to have the best night of their lives, as jealousies rise and the threat of violence looms. This jazz age musical tells a story of excess with some of the greatest songs of the contemporary musical theatre.
Note: The Wild Party contains depictions of alcohol and drug use and sexual assault and includes a gunshot sound effect. If you have more specific questions or concerns about the content of the show, please email us at info@blanktheatrecompany.org
