WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The world premiere of Williamsburg! The Musical is presented as part of the 11th annual New York International Fringe Festival - FringeNYC. Written by Nicola Barber, Will Brumley , Brooke Fox and Kurt Gellersted, the show features music by Gellersted with lyrics by Fox and is directed and choreographed by Deborah Wolfson.
Williamsburg! The Musical is a hilarious pop/rock parody of Brooklyn's over-hyped hipster 'hood. A suicidal trust-funder encounters a disenchanted Chasidic Jew in the shadow of the Williamsburg Bridge. On their potholed road to love, they battle a greedy real estate agent whose diabolical plan to overtake the neighborhood spawns an army of zombie-like hipsters. Will the unlikely heroes of Williamsburg band together to save the sub-borough? Or will gentrification reign?
With songs like "One Stop (To Excitement)," "Craigslist Hookup," "Peter Luger Lullaby" and "Million Dollar Crackhouse," this timely roast of the Burg juxtaposes Missed Connections and "Hipstory Lessons" to comically exploit the cultural mish-mash of the coolest neighborhood in America.
