Adrift in Macao Tickets

One of the most anticipated new musicals this season is Primary Stages production of ADRIFT IN MACAO, with book and lyrics by Christopher Durang and music by Peter Melnick. ADRIFT IN MACAO is a madcap musical parody of glamorous films noirs, in which the leading lady can always get a job singing in nightclubs no matter how she sings, and the leading man is always mysterious and can’t go home for murky reasons he won’t explain. From the opium dens of China to the lowlife bars of New York, Durang and composer Melnick take us on a hilarious tour through the late forties and early 50s complete with intrigue, silliness, and a playfully melodic score. Directed by Sheryl Kaller with choreography by Christopher Gattelli, orchestrations by Michael Starobin, and musical direction by Fred Lassen, the seven-member cast features Sunset Boulevard Tony® nominee Alan Campbell, Will Swenson (Brooklyn, Lestat), Barrymore winners Rachel de Benedet (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Nine), Orville Mendoza (Pacific Overtures) and Michelle Ragusa (Urinetown, Ragtime), Jonathan Rayson (Little Shop of Horrors) and Elisa Van Duyne (42nd Street).
