Billy Recce and Eamon Foley's HIT SHOW to Premiere in 2027 in Oklahoma and Kentucky
The musical will launch in Oklahoma City in May 2027 and move to Covington in June 2027. Tickets will go on sale in June 2026.
Southern Plains Productions and The Carnegie will present a joint world premiere of the new musical Hit Show in Spring 2027, setting its sights on an Off-Broadway production to follow. Hit Show features music, lyrics, and book by Billy Recce (Little Black Book, A Musical About Star Wars), with arrangements and orchestrations by Adam Dorfman (The Outsiders, National Tour). Eamon Foley (Michael Arden, David Cromer) serves as director. The musical will launch in Oklahoma City in May 2027 and move to Covington in June 2027. Tickets will go on sale in June 2026.
Hit Show drops you into a jazz-fueled fever dream where the spotlight burns and the truth keeps slipping out of reach. A swanky, noir-flavored musical inspired by the 1963 kidnapping of Frank Sinatra Jr. and set against the stirrings of the queer liberation movement, it unfolds like a smoky 60s floor show with a dangerous edge. The lights are low, the martinis are cold, and the night is closing in.
Sexy, volatile, and darkly funny, Hit Show is a high-gloss hallucination of fame at its most intoxicating and corrosive—a world of flashbulbs, backrooms, and buried secrets where image is currency and identity is a risk. Featuring a cast of four, Hit Show blurs performance and confession into an electrifying, late-night experience that lingers long after the music stops.
