$25.00
The Theater Company of Hoboken presents The Wild Party, written by George C. Wolfe & Michael John LaChiusa.
1920s Manhattan decadence provides the backdrop for this tough musical fable. Queenie, a vaudeville chorine, hosts the blow-out of the title with her vicious lover, a vaudevillian clown. The guests are a vivid collection of the unruly and the undone: Queenie's conniving rival; a cocaine-sniffing bisexual playboy; a washed-up boxer;
a black brother act; a diva of indeterminate age and infinite life experience; the fresh-off-the-farm ingénue whose naïveté quickly evaporates; a lesbian actress and her comatose girlfriend; and the bargain basement Valentino who catches Queenie's roving eye.
The jazz and gin soaked party rages to a mounting sense of threat as artifice and illusion are stripped away. When midnight debauchery leads to tragedy at dawn, the
high-flying characters land with a sobering thud, reminding us that no party lasts forever. Mature subject matter - may be inappropriate for younger audiences.
