Galt MacDermot's GODDESS WHEEL musical

Today I auditioned for the theatre department at Wagner college in staten island as an incoming freshman and as part of their season of shows it says they're doing a musical called Goddess Wheel by Galt Macdermot
It says its a premier of the show but I dont know anything else about it

Has anyone heard of/seen anything about this?
I didn't know Galt was still working on anything

Yea i think its part of the season but not part of the shows on campus
Apparently theres been an ongoing workshop with Galt involved since the beginning of the year leading up to its first industry run on Staten Island
I actually think Galt is from there, no?

Some more info was just released today

thanks for all that! I cant wait to see it since im a big fan of Lysistrata
Did you see it at NYU?

From what I gather, the original intention was to have Gelbart do a book with a score by William Bolcom, the opera composer but for some reason it didn't work out and Menken/Zippel were brought on board. Apparently what they did was either too "commercial" or too dirty (depending on which account you read) and it was rather unceremoniously canceled. MTC did a reading of their version which was subtitled "Sex And The City-State".

I did see the NYU versions. As I said, I didn't really find it to be very effective storytelling, at least in that incarnation. But I'm a diehard MacDermot fan regardless, and the music does have his usual odd theatrical flair. I think he and his band (The New Pulse Jazz Band) are playing the production on Staten Island, as they did the NYU concert, which always makes for a fun evening.

Having worked with MacDermot a bit, I've learned that he really doesn't focus on anything other than the music. He leaves it to his collaborators to worry about the story and the concept and so forth - he gets the lyrics, he hears the music in his head, writes it out and they put it into the show. It's a very different approach than your typical theatrical composer, who is usually very integral to the structural and storytelling development. At heart, Galt's an old school jazz guy who only focuses on the tunes. He doesn't initiate projects, but if someone's working on something and they decide they want MacDermot music, they go to him and he happily writes it. The rest he leaves to the collaborators, and so sometimes it's "Hair" and sometimes it's "Via Galactica" and it doesn't really seem to bother him much either way, so long as it sounds good.

Guys, I sat in on a run through of this show, and, I have to tell you it is an amazing piece of theatre. The score that Galt wrote with Matty Selman is nothing like I've ever heard before. It is searing and brilliant and the story works on so many levels. First of all, it is a completely new take on the Lysistrata story. Here they have her as the Madam of Aspasia's Gynaceum (historically one of the better-known brothels in Athens) and her first concern is that the Peleponnesian War is killing off her clientele. Her subsequent love story with one of the Athenian Soldiers creates the atmosphere for her famous sex strike. But the most amazing thing is how the Goddesses come into play. It's really a very profound story and the score... well, it's probably one of Galt's best score's since Two Gentlemen of Verona.
