Alice loves John. John loves Alice.
Their only problems are that they are underemployed, broke, their high school bully is the landlord, their former friends are either too rich to care about them or just as broke as they are, and their luck shows no signs of improving.
That is, until a seemingly random series of events brings a mysterious ancient object into their life: a brass teapot.
The teapot magically spouts money, as if it were a genie from a lamp – but only when it senses pain. Pretty soon, Alice and John are debt free and living large, with just a few bumps and bruises…but people are starting to notice, and ask questions. Not only that, but the teapot is demanding more, different, deeper pain to keep the money flowing.
How far would you go to win unlimited fortune, if it meant hurting those you love?
Would you break a tooth? Break their arm? Break their heart?
Part Heathers and Hadestown, part ‘Twilight Zone’ and Little Shop of Horrors, the wry, rowdy, romantic musical features a modern alt-pop-rock score, theatrically magical moments, and ultimately, an ending that affirms the power of love over greed.
