Shining In Misery: A King Size Parody

Music by: Andrew Abrams
Lyrics by: Mark-Eugene Garcia
Book by: Colleen DuVall

Director: Donald Garverick
Musical Director: Evan Lange
Artistic Director: Andrew Abrams

Experience a musical parody of King size proportions! During the Misery of a blizzard, five people are drawn to the Shining lights of the Overlook Hotel. The group includes Jack: the hotel’s new caretaker, Wendy: his unhappy wife, Danny: their clairvoyant son, Annie: a quick to anger nurse, and Paul: the mysterious unconscious man she drags up to room 217. As the storm grows so do the mysteries of the hotel and the new guests sing and vocalize while hacking an onslaught of visitors — human, animal, and supernatural. Will this group be able to harmonize through IT, take a Stand, or fade into The Mist?
