Striking 12

Once again the indie pop-rock band GrooveLily returns to The Zipper Factory for the holiday season to spread some holiday warmth on cold winter nights performing their critically acclaimed musical, Striking 12.

Combining pop-rock, musical comedy and old-fashioned uplift with a healthy dose of 21st-century skepticism, Striking 12 is the story of a Grumpy Guy who decides to avoid the hectic, loveless world on New Year’s Eve, until he’s visited by an incandescent salesgirl with the promise to chase away his winter doldrums.

The show is written by Brendan Milburn (book, music and lyrics), Rachel Sheinkin (Tony Award winner for The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, book and lyrics) and Valerie Vigoda (book, music and lyrics). The score features songs such as "Last Day of the Year," "Give the Drummer Some," "Caution to the Wind" and "Screwed-Up People Make Great Art."
