Verdi's classic opera Rigoletto gets a punk rock overhaul by Screeching Weasel (contemporaries of Green Day).
The production is based on their 2015 concept album, and marks legendary front man Ben Weasel’s first foray into the theatre. In this world premiere, we find ourselves in The Reptile House, a Chicago club where the house band Serpentello and its entourage are at the center of a dark vortex of debauchery from which seemingly no soul can escape unharmed.
Music and Lyrics: Ben Weasel
Libretto: Ben Weasel (after Victor Hugo and Francesco Maria Piave)
Director: Michael Scholar, Jr.
Music Director and Arranger: Andy Peterson
Choreographer: Samantha Sheppard
STARRING
Russell Fischer*, Marlene Ginader, Kwame Michael Remy*
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:
THURSDAY & FRIDAY @ 8 PM
SATURDAY @ 7 & 10 PM
