a note from ARTISTIC DIRECTOR TODD HAIMES
Book by Michael Mitnick Music and Lyrics by Adam Gwon Choreographed by Josh Rhodes Directed by Lonny Price
This deliciously dark new musical comedy, based on the cult film (and the bard's Macbeth), springs to life in a sleepy Pennsylvania town (population 1,203—and dropping), where a burger-joint manager and his wife cook up a plan to super-size their lives. As their ambitions grow and the bodies fall, the couple finds out just how far they’ll go for a taste of the oh-so-tempting American dream.
I could not be more thrilled to welcome back composer and lyricist— and Roundabout Board Member—Adam Gwon for his second new musical with Roundabout. Adam’s smash hit show Ordinary Days, which has now been produced at hundreds of theatres across the country and around the world, made its New York debut at Roundabout Underground in 2009. Like all Underground productions, Ordinary Days included an automatic commission for another new work from Adam. With book writer Michael Mitnick and director Lonny Price, Adam has developed his commission at Roundabout over the past several years, growing it from a seed of an idea into the deliciously twisted comedy of power and revenge on the Laura Pels stage right now. Adapted from the 2001 film of the same name by Billy Morrissette, Scotland, PA brings to life the explosive collision between ambition and fate with heart-stopping humor, roof- raising rock ‘n’ roll, and spine-tingling suspense.
