The world premiere musical runs through October 11 at Theatre at St. Jean’s.
The York Theatre Company has opened the world premiere of THIS IS NOT A DRILL, now playing a five-week limited engagement at Off-Broadway’s Theatre at St. Jean’s (150 East 76th Street). Check out photos from opening night!
With book by Holly Doubet and Joseph McDonough, music and lyrics by Holly Doubet, Kathy Babylon, and John Vester, and direction and choreography by Gabriel Barre, the new musical runs through October 11.
Inspired by terrifying true events that Doubet experienced in 2018, the musical takes audiences inside the chaos of a morning in Hawaii when an emergency alert warned of an incoming missile attack. As fear grips the island, strangers and loved ones alike confront both mortality and humanity, set against a soaring and heartfelt score.
The production stars Cáitlín Burke, Victor E. Chan, Bill Coyne, Matthew Curiano, Chris Doubet, Gary Edwards, Felicia Finley, Kelvin Moon Loh, Sam Poon, Lukas Poost, Marianne Tatum, Aurelia Williams, Xavier Reyes, and T. Shyvonne Stewart.
