THE LAST TWO PEOPLE ON EARTH


It seems that this season will be a great one for Susan Stroman. Two new musicals on Broadway, BIG FISH and BULLETS OVER BROADWAY, and now a workshop was announced.

This last one its call THE LAST TWO PEOPLE ON EARTH: AN APOCALYPTIC VAUDEVILLE and once again Stroman is directing and choreographing. This fully staged workshop presentation will be present at The Abrons Arts Center in New York and it’ll star Mandy Patinkin and Taylor Mac, with music direction by Paul Ford.

This is how the press notes describe this new work “It’s the end of the world as we know it," A flood of biblical proportions leaves us with only two people on Earth, who discover their common language is song and dance. Together they chronicle the rise and fall, and hopeful rise again of humankind, through music that runs the gamut from Rodgers & Hammerstein and Stephen Sondheim all the way to R.E.M. and Queen."

Abrons Arts Center is located at 466 Grand Street, on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Tickets can be purchased by calling (212) 352-3101 or visiting www.abronsartscenter.org.
