Eagle Theatre Is Having a “Wild Party”
Episode description
It’s a night of music, dancing, drugs, and deception—and that’s only act one! Andrew Lippa’s The Wild Party takes the stage at Hammonton’s Eagle Theatre from February 9-26, bringing Joseph Moncure March’s 1928 narrative poem of the same title to life. The musical tells the story of a romance between Vaudeville performers gone awry, and is set against a backdrop of eccentric characters, catchy tunes, and a soirée that won’t soon be forgotten.
Jesey Arts talks with Producing Artistic Director and show Director Angela Longo about The Wild Party’s cult following, history, and upcoming Eagle Theatre production.
