Performances at the Kirk Douglas Theatre
Venice-YAPS
A next generation Broadway musical that uses the vocabulary of hip-hop while sampling Othello and Brecht to spin an epic tale of struggle and redemption sure to entertain audience members from 15 to 50 to 150.
Matt Sax and Eric Rosen, creators of the 2007 audience favorite Clay, return triumphantly to the Douglas with Venice, an ambitious new musical with a highly original score that fuses hip-hop, R & B and even opera.
Set in the not-too-distant future, this tale of two brothers who must lead their city out of a terrorist war is a visionary new theatrical work filled with love, politics, treachery, tragedy and exhilarating music.
A co-production with Kansas City Repertory Theatre.
