REINCARNATION BLUES Musical Adaptation to Hold Workshop

A reading of new musical Reincarnation Blues, adapted from the cult-hit fantasy novel by Michael Poore will take place on Thursday 24th April at The Other Palace Studio space by producers Josh Sobel of FutureHome (Appropriate, Gutenberg! The Musical!) with co-producer Michael Graf (The Roommate) and Executive Producer and General Manager Lisa Dozier Shacket of LDK Productions (Be More Chill, Cellino V.

Featuring a score by acclaimed touring musicians Ben Thornewill (lead singer of Jukebox the Ghost and Coyle Girelli (multi-platinum songwriter for BTS and more plus lead singer of The Chevin), and with a book by award-winning playwright Laura Zlatos (Happily After Ever), Reincarnation Blues is a fantastically whimsical, mystical, comical and deeply human tale of a soul who is reincarnated through 10,000 lifetimes to be with his one true love: Death herself. 

The musical is currently being developed for future stage productions in New York and London. Originally developed in part at the 2023 Rhinebeck Writers Retreat, Reincarnation Blues also became a 2024 Semi-Finalist for the O'Neill National Music Theater Conference and recently played a concert in New York on 31 March at Drom (85 Avenue A).
