Breakdown
150 years after the final gunshot, The Civil War’s six lone survivors grab their banjos, washboards, and what’s left of their sanity to retell the story of the infamous conflict…as it really happened. Complete with singing, dancing, outrageous humor and biting historical satire, The unCivil War is a wild, bluegrass-fueled ride that re-examines one of the country’s darkest moments, and sheds a hilarious new light on the leaders we’ve long considered heroes.
The confirmed cast includes Broadway veterans including Tony-nominee J. Robert Spencer, Brian Charles Rooney and others. Under its former title, Bayonets of Angst, The unCivil War won numerous awards during its sold-out and much-acclaimed run in the 2014 New York Musical Theatre Festival.
SEEKING:
All performers should be versatile and highly comedic actors who sing.
