The musicals deconstruct the American, French, and Russian revolution with whimsy and charm, as told through matryoshka dolls, chess pieces, and toy soldiers. The stories trace the pivotal moments of a revolution: the beginning, middle, and end. REVOLUTION! is based on an original idea and was conceived by returning Planet Connections Theatre Festivity alumnae Anne Berlin (Book & Lyrics). Last year her musical with Andrew Bleckner (Music) HOWLING HILDA was nominated for best overall production of a reading and best actress in a reading for which it won. This is her ninth, new musical and seventh collaboration with composing partner Andy Cohen (Music). This also marks her sixth collaboration with Valentina Fratti (Director).

Book & Lyrics by Anne Berlin
Music by Andy Cohen
Musical Direction by Markus Hauck
Stage Manager Chae-kyung Lee
Directed by Valentina Fratti

Featuring: Caryln Connolly, Bellavia Mauro*, Ed Prostak*, Marek Sapieyevski, Tom Schubert and Daryl Stewart
