Iceboy! The Musical

I'm so curious about this new musical from Mark Hollerman (Urinetown) coming to the Goodman in a few months. The plot sounds bonkers, but I'm here for it. Has anyone heard anything about this show yet?

A musical 40,000 years in the making.

Broadway’s brightest star of 1938, Vera Vimm (Megan Mullally/Will & Grace), is at the top of her game. But when she adopts a 40,000-year-old Neanderthal discovered frozen in the Arctic, the spotlight begins to shift. As Iceboy thaws, he unexpectedly becomes a theatrical sensation, inspiring the “father of the American drama” Eugene O’Neill (Nick Offerman/Parks and Recreation) and challenging his legendary mother for center stage. It’s All About Eve…if only Eve was a caveman.

To accommodate Nick Offerman’s schedule, the performance schedule was moved to 2 weeks or so later. Subscribers were notified, and the Goodman box office is allowing all subscribers to select ANY night of the run - if the reassigned night offered by the box office ain’t ideal.

My night was moved to two weeks later - which is fine - no need to reschedule.

This thing has been bouncing around trying to find a production for years and years.
