Rockabye Hamlet Returns to New York After 30 Years
Astoria-based theater company Ophelia Theatre Group announced Feb 10th that the cult-classic Broadway rock-opera "Rockabye Hamlet" will be receiving its first NYC revival at the Broccoli Theater in Queens beginning May 9.
Featuring music and lyrics by Cliff Jones, Rockabye Hamlet has not been seen in NYC since its original Broadway run in 1976. Directed by Pep Speed and featuring music direction by Ryan Kimble, California-transplants OTG are excited to bring this distinctive rock opera to a new generation of theatergoers.
Synopsis:
"It's the summer of 1971, and Haight-Ashbury's favorite theater troupe have just arrived on a Chevy van to share their unique take on Shakespeare's classic tale of love, loss, and finding your place in a world gone "rotten." After enjoying sell-out runs in Toronto, Montreal, New York and Los Angeles and winning eight international awards in the 1970's and 1980's, this legendary re-imagining of Hamlet has been revised and updated for the 21st Century. Filled with memorable rock grooves and a heart as big as its hair, Rockabye Hamlet is a cult and critical mega-hit not to be missed."
