Lindsay Pearce, Jarran Muse & More to Lead Industry Reading of New Musical DAYS OF RAGE

An invitation-only industry presentation of DAYS OF RAGE, A Musical Explosion, a new musical from Hyeyoung Kim and Shoshana Greenberg, will be held on Monday, December 4th, 2023 in New York.

Music and Book written by Hyeyoung Kim (Jonathan Larson, Daryl Roth, and TRU Daniel Marshall Multicultural Award recipient), with lyrics written by Shoshana Greenberg. How can we stop the cycle of violence? DAYS OF RAGE explores this ever-present question through the experiences of various activist groups during the late 1960s and early '70s in Chicago, IL. Jean Avery leads a militant protest group that tries to stop the war and bring troops back home, and David Hayward, the leader of the Black Angels, tries to build a community and protect their homes from Urban Renewal. As David and Jean's paths intertwine, they grow closer and apart in a turbulent time of war, civil rights, and rage.

It's about a fever, a passion and conviction to stand up for what is right at home and abroad. And it's about caring for our community, coming together to collectively nurture what is needed now, for us all.

The presentation will be directed by Tiffany Nichole Greene (Covenant, resident director of Hamilton), with music direction by Hyeyoung Kim, and will star Jarran Muse (Motown) and Lindsay Pearce (Wicked, Titanique). The cast also includes Sam Primack (Dear Evan Hansen), Brandon McCall (The Lion King), Christian Musto (The Lightning Thief tour), Mike Backes (A Bronx Tale tour), Tim Fuchs (Something Rotten tour), Claire De Jean, Tony Moreno (Book of Mormon), Alaina Anderson (Dear Evan Hansen tour), and Jaelyn Alexander.

Nat Kelley DiMario will serve as stage manager, with sound by TJ Park.

It is being produced by Trey Tetreault.
