SYNOPSIS: Racy, sensual, caustic, and often darkly hilarious, THE WILD PARTY is driven by music that feeds off of the manic energy of the jazz age. Skimming atop the final wave of the roaring twenties, exactly one year before the great depression, Queenie, a fading vaudevillian chorine and Burrs, her blackface-performing lover, throw a raucous party. The guest list features cads and would-be\'s, the dregs of the vaudeville theatre scene, who seek refuge in the gin-drenched festivities. As the night deepens, the party whirls out of control, garters snap and pants drop, testing the limits of relationships delicately glued together by mutual sacrifice and an ever-morphing definition of fidelity.
LaChiusa’s musical is a tour-de-force. He decimates the staid mold of traditional musical theatre structure, and creates a true jazz piece that evokes both the period and its substance.
