about the show

Based on the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, this indie-rock album musical follows a broken songwriter from Nebraska on a madcap cab ride into a soundless world to save his muse from the hands of a lonely fangirl. One Act, Emo/Pop/Rock, Thru Sung, Dance/Movement, Medium Cast (3 Principal Performers + Ensemble).

The story’s framework -- informed in large part by the Kubler-Ross stages of grief and Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey -- is presented in concert form. Our Orpheus stand-in, Jack, is on lead vocals, doomed to perpetually relive the tragic journey that made him and his girlfriend Melody (Eurydice) permanent residents of North Omaha (the Underworld), all for the amusement of a devoted and demented audience of one (Persephone).
