About the Show
Sierra Madre Playhouse presents the world premiere of “Flashes of Light,” a new musical by Billy Larkin and Ron Boustead, directed by Jon Lawrence Rivera. Set in the heart of the industrial revolution, this mythic new musical reimagines the life of inventor Nikola Tesla, whose genius may have been inspired by more than science alone. Guided by Electra, the Goddess of the Storm Clouds, Tesla is swept into a mythic love story filled with humor, drama, and passion that spans two realms — all while battling rival Thomas Edison in the War of the Currents. A cast of powerhouse performers and a genre-defying score filled with heartfelt lyrics and haunting melodies blending jazz, pop, and rock, bring this fantastical story both tragic and divine to life, blurring the lines between fact and fantasy.
