Kafkaesque!
Nov

Kafkaesque!

Franz Kafka never intended for his name to be an adjective. Nonetheless, the new musical comedy Kafkaesque! celebrates his body of work by layering the extraordinary existential predicaments of Kafka's stories onto one contemporary American family. 

The result is a funny and frightening joy ride through horrifying bodily transformations, artistic eating disorders, cancel culture run amok, and the relentless grind of late-stage capitalism. 

The hilarious and genre-bending Kafkaesque! was a hit of the 2023 New York Theater Festival.

Book, music, and lyrics by James Harvey (Prime Day)

Directed by Ashley Brooke Monroe (Hamilton National Tour, Life of Pi, All of Me)

Produced by Patrick Trettenero & Staro Industries (Here Lies Love)

See What I Wanna See

Words and Music by Michael John LaChiusa

Directed by Emilio Ramos
Music Directed by Adam Rothenberg

Choreographed by Paul McGill

See What I Wanna See, a musical by Michael John LaChiusa, is based on three short stories by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa. The story unfolds like a classical Japanese screen painting, opening each act with a prologue inspired by Kesa and Morito, a pair of fatally contentious lovers.  The first act, set in 1951, follows a murder in Central Park from contradicting perspectives where everyone’s truth may be a lie. Act two centers on a priest in 2002, wavering in his faith and creating a hoax about a miracle. His ruse attracts attention; however, the result is something he hadn't bargained for. 

  

OOTB's production of See What I Wanna See features an all-AAPI cast of actors and elements inspired by traditional Asian theater practices, bringing LaChiusa’s Americanized adaptation into conversation with the Asian-American experience.
