Illumination Act presents this immersive staging of Andrew Lippa’s racy and decadent 1920s-set musical drama, where the audience is interspersed amongst the action.
Based on Joseph Moncure March's 1928 poem of the same name, 'The Wild Party' features characters Queenie and Burrs, a romantic duo as volatile as they are passionate. Queenie hosts a party at her apartment to reignite the fire in their relationship. The guest list includes a pugilist, a prostitute, a slick producer, twins equal parts flamboyant and incestuous, among others. This raucous group makes liberal use of bootlegged alcohol, cocaine, and sultry dancing as tensions overheat and the party descends into bacchanalia. Included with ticket purchases are free drink tokens which may be redeemed at the venue for cocktails and refreshments. This musical is intended for mature audiences.
