In UNLOCK'D, Clarissa is tired of living in the shadow of her flirtatious sister Belinda, the most adored woman in 18th Century England. Wits sharpened and scissors in hand, Clarissa sets out to cut Belinda - and her glorious locks of hair - down to size... and to find a man of her own! Through an innovative score featuring electric guitar alongside harpsichord and strings, four star-crossed lovers and the mischievous spirits that surround them are each unwittingly "unlocked" to their true feelings and identities.
UNLOCK'D will be directed and choreographed by Marlo Hunter, the founder of Eating Their Words and associate choreographer of The Roundabout's Picnic. Brad Haak (Mary Poppins, Lestat) is the music supervisor.
Scenic design is by Wilson Chin (Next Fall) and David Arsenault. Costume design is by Amy Clark (Chaplin The Musical). Lighting design is by Cory Pattak (Cole Porter's NYMPH ERRANT, With Glee). Sound design is by Kurt Fischer (Rent, Everyday Rapture). Kat West is the production stage manager. Jason Najjoum (Working, Myths and Hymns) is the casting director.
