David Malinsky has a secret! He wants A LOT, but he doesn’t know what it is. He has always had an image of himself, grounded in a rejection of connection and community…and even love…But in this madcap exploration of life, time, space and music, featuring a collection of songs as varied and eccentric as he is, Dave shows us and embraces his True Self, and keeps us laughing--and thinking--along the way! Featuring Musical Director Yasuhiko “Yaz” Fukuoka on piano, I Want the World is directed by Michael Kirk Lane.
