MEASURE UP Musical to Have World Premiere at Revolutionary Theatre

The first ever full production of Emmy-winning composer/lyricist Sean P. Pallatroni and bookwriter Ellis Gage's fractured fairytale musical MEASURE UP will take place at Connecticut's premiere educational drama program, Revolutionary Theatre - founded and run by TONY Nominee and EMMY winner Mark Mazzarella.

MEASURE UP was originally commissioned in 2024 for a workshop by students at NYC's award-winning acting studio A Class Act NY. It tells the story of a fairytale princess whose perfectionistic life's trajectory is threatened when she realizes she cannot fit into the sacred generations-old dress that her kingdom, per their superstitious tradition, demands she wear in order to inherit the crown. We follow her pursuit of dark magic as a means to alter her body to fit into the dress and fulfill her prescribed destiny. The piece aims to examine the real-world themes of unhealthy behavior in service of society's standards (non-explicitly, the theme of restrictive eating disorders) & the journey to self love through a comedic, fantastical adventure story and whacky-but-catchy Jazz-oriented score. Gage and Mazzarella will co-direct and Pallatroni will music direct.
