FUTURITY
MUSIC BY CÉSAR ALVAREZ AND THE LISPS, LYRICS AND BOOK BY CÉSAR ALVAREZ
DIRECTED BY BRIEN LANG, MUSIC DIRECTION BY MILLY MASSEY | DECEMBER 6 - 23, 2018
Two people try to imagine their way out of impossible circumstances in FUTURITY an avant-Americana musical by indie band The Lisps. Julian is a Civil War soldier dreaming of a technological utopia. Ada is a mathematical genius thousands of miles away. Together, theyre going to invent a machine to end one of the darkest periods in our history. Directed by Brien Lang (CHURCH, MR BURNS: A POST-ELECTRIC PLAY) and featuring an army of performers armed with everything from banjos to bandsaws, FUTURITY is a theatrical experience unlike anything else audiences have ever seen.
Some of the most lovely and inventive music you can hearfolk-inflected ballads and anthems that manage to sound both entirely contemporary and eerily of the past How refreshing to meet a musical that has too much on its mind, rather than too little. [FUTURITY] can only help advance an art form that often seems unable to imagine itself a new future. NEW YORK TIMES
César Alverez is changing the american musical form, and the world AMERICAN THEATRE
Positively gasp-worthy. Those who like their theater messy and beautiful are liable to fall in love with FUTURITY. THEATERMANIA
FUTURITY is indelibly human-made; no musical-making machine could ever achieve such an imaginative and singular result. CULTUREBOT
