About the Show
The world premiere of Asphalt Beach is the third new musical to emerge from the recently launched American Music Theatre Project (AMTP) at Northwestern University.
The hilarious new “rock” musical is set in Asphalt Beach, N. J., home of “Our Lady of Suppressed Desire Academy for Rambunctious Young Girls,” where a rag-tag band of misfit girls struggle daily to break free from the dominating head-mistress, Sister Severia. The adversity leads them to discover that family isn’t just something you inherit; it also is something you create.
Asphalt Beach features music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa, book by T. C. Smith and Peter Spears and direction by Amanda Dehnert. The Gilman & Gonzales-Falla Theater Foundation and Louise and Thomas Middleton are the honorary producers.
