Video: LUCIER&ROSE IN CONCERT Streams From Joe's Pub With Jenn Colella
Footage captures a preview of the duo's upcoming musical alongside songs from their catalog.
New video from Joe's Pub documents Lucier&Rose In Concert, the August 30 performance celebrating the songwriting duo's decade-plus body of work. The footage captures an all-queer, all-sapphic cast performing selections from the pair's catalog, along with a preview of their forthcoming full-length musical, Atalanta: The Long Shot.
Lucier&Rose describe their output as "restorative narratives" that explore the hidden stories we long to remember, an approach that shaped their cult-favorite Xena: Warrior Musical, which previously featured Jenn Colella, L Morgan Lee, Taylor Iman Jones, and Wren Rivera. Their new work, Atalanta, tells the story of the only non-male hero of Ancient Greek Mythology, an embodiment of the original Amazon archetype who strains against the confines of her imposed gender. The duo has also contributed to Maestra's First Takes Series, Heart & Music at 54 Below, and Ring of Keys' Queering the Canon programming at Joe's Pub.
Atalanta: The Long Shot is set to premiere this November at Culture Lab LIC as part of New Works Lab, and the Joe's Pub concert offered audiences an early listen to material from that show alongside established fan favorites.
The concert lineup included Jenn Colella, Liz Pryce Davies, Jarvis Derrell, Caitlin Kinnunen, Jade McLeod, Andrea Prestinario, Wren Rivera, and Kalyn West, backed by an ensemble and band. More on the concert's casting and program was detailed in a prior BroadwayWorld story announcing the evening ahead of its Joe's Pub date.
