This is the show that moved into Circle In The Square after ROCKY HORROR unnecessarily ended it's run, January 6th 2002.
I miss my show.
"Noah, someday we'll talk again. But there's things we'll never say. That sorrow deep inside you. It inside me, too. And it never go away. You be okay. You'll learn how to lose things..."
Oh, you did say Kafka didn't you? It's late. I didn't read that part. The word Metamorphosis just makes me sad, though.

I really wanted to see that Metamorphoses (the Circle in the Square one, based on Ovid's myths). I heard it was very cathartic after 9/11. Anyone catch it? Its website said it was planning a tour, but it's been three years now.

HEDWIG: "The road is my home. In reflecting upon the people whom I have come upon in my travels, I cannot help but think of the people who have come upon me."
The show that played in Circle in the Square was called "Metamorphoses," which is the plural of "Metamorphosis," the title of Kafka's book about the bug-man.
"Metamorphoses" was a brilliant theatre piece that incorporated Greek myths into a lyrical, magical evening created by Mary Zimmerman (it transferred from Second Stage; it originally debuted in Chicago, I believe)
The stage version of Kafka's "Metamorphosis" was directed and adapted by the great Shakespearean actor/director (and movie bad guy) Steven Berkoff back in the late 80's and starred Mikhail Baryshnikov as Gregor Samsa. Rather avante garde in concept as I recall, it exploited Baryshnikov's amazing physicality to make Samsa's transition into a cockroach, rather than using any makeup or special effects. It was well-received critically and Baryshnikov got a Tony nomination and a Theatre World Award.
