Musical Styles in NEVERMORE
“The text, largely sung-through, has a storybook feel. The recorded music borrows from the creepier side of cabaret and music hall traditions, with the occasional foray into rock balladry.” NY TIMES
Style of the Production: Storybook-feel taking elements of Victorian melodrama, Brecht, and gothic drama.
All actors will be compensated.
Run dates are October 20-September 5. Rehearsals will primarily be in October with some preliminary musical work in Late August.
