The Wild Party
Quinnipiac's Theater Program proudly presents our spring musical: The Wild Party
Decadence and excess are the life of the party in this jazzy, 1920's whodunnit
A steamy prohibition tale steamrolling and roaring its way across the stage, Andrew Lippa's Wild Party was an off-broadway gem that garnered an array of industry accolades, including Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, & Obie awards. Based on Joseph Moncure March's 1928 narrative poem of the same name, this darkly brilliant show features one of the most exciting, pulse-racing scores ever written.
Lovers Queenie and Burrs decide to throw the party to end all parties in their Manhattan apartment. After the colorful arrival of a slew of guests living life on the edge, Queenie's wandering eyes land on a striking man named Black. As the decadence is reaching a climax, so is Burrs' jealousy which erupts and sends him into a violent rage. Gun in hand and inhibitions abandoned Burrs turns on Queenie and Black. The gun gets fired, but who's been shot?
Please join us for our spring musical and then consider meeting us in New York City for our 4th Annual New Play Festival produced in affiliation with the Barrow Group Theater Company on April 8th @ 2pm & 7pm!
