| Other Info | The 2018 CMTP new musicals are: ERIK WITH A K Book, Music & Lyrics: Jay Turvey and Paul Sportelli Director: Sarah Kitz Music Directors: Tara Litvack and Wayne Gwillim Montmartre, Paris. 1880s. The infamous bohemian nightclub, Le Chat Noir. The inhabitants and frequenters: La Goulue, cancan dancer and bon vivant, Suzanne Valadon, painter and artist’s model, composer Claude Debussy, and musical iconoclast Erik Satie. A time of tumultuous change in the arts. Some led the charge. Some went with the flow. Some resisted. Some fell in love along the way. It was a party. IN REAL LIFE Book & Lyrics: Nick Green Music & Lyrics: Kevin Wong Director: Ali Joy Richardson Music Director: Chris Barillaro Every day, technology is becoming more a part of the way that we communicate, explore our identities, and learn about the world. As it continues to advance, technology breaks down boundaries, bringing us closer together in spite of geographical divides. That said, these very screens that are bringing us together are simultaneously pulling us apart. In Real Life is a dystopian coming-of-age story about a young woman and man on opposite sides of the world trying to find a true connection in an increasingly technological world. KELLY V. KELLY Book: Sara Farb Music & Lyrics: Britta Johnson Director: Robert McQueen Music Director: Joseph Tritt One day your daughter is a normal, sweet teenager; the next, she’s running off with a tango pirate. What do you do about it? Have her arrested. Obviously. A musical inspired by true events from 1915, when things were pretty weird. Kelly V. Kelly is being developed in partnership with The Musical Stage Company STARS OF MARS Book and Lyrics: Ashley Botting Music and Lyrics: Daniel Abrahamson Director: Steven Gallagher Music Director: Paul Moody Inside the first human colony on Mars, a hopeless amateur theatre troupe of astronauts, scientists, and pioneers stage a musical satire of Earth today to teach the first human born a Martian about the home they’ve all left behind. Stars of Mars is a new musical comedy about family, humanity, and the rocket science required to put on a show in space.
