The Black Suits
The New Rock Musical
The Black Suits
World Premiere
Scattered among the drums and guitars are the hopes, dreams, angst, and rebellion of a new generation screaming to be heard.
Joe Iconis made a big Smash when he penned “Broadway Here I Come” for the NBC series. Now this Jonathan Larson Award-winning composer takes us behind the music as four teenage Long Island misfits band together to escape Garden City, to conquer the world, to be “cool and whatever.”
Now if the Black Suits can only win the St. Anne’s Battle of the Bands, their friendship just might survive the perilous transition to adulthood.
The Black Suits celebrates the wannabe rock star in all of us: with a score that sends us out of the theatre singing and longing to be 18 again.
Performance Length
Approx. two hours and 30 minutes, including one intermission.
Be Aware
Recommended for audiences ages 16+ for mature content, language, and sexuality.
