IN THE MUSICAL: New York City. July 13, 1977. Four New Yorkers—high, low, charged, broke, strangers, sisters, black,... More > white—navigate a city of swelling temptation and simmering anger, a time of random fires and swinging sex, and streets where soul and disco serenade the down and up. And they harbor buried hope of a light at the end of that long, cracking tunnel. Until the power goes out. All of it. And they're forced into a night of both fantasy and nightmare where they'll come together before they come out the other side. IN THIS SONG: This eleven o'clock number finds 19-year old Cora celebrating a sudden release from the anger that's been holding her back her entire life. (http://www.blackoutmusical.com) < Less

IN THIS SONG: In this duet, estranged for ten years, sisters Marie and Alice reunite at the height of the blackout, Marie an anxious mess, Alice settling back into old-neighborhood rhythms she hasn’t felt since leaving it all behind for college. Both women have a little to drink and, after airing out initial tensions, start to let their guards down for the first time since they were children. Perhaps for the first time ever.

IN THIS SONG: Dr. Alice Delancey left the old neighborhood behind almost 20 years ago and worked hard not to look back. She changed her hair, her accent, even her name. She took a role as a doctor to Park Avenue hypochondriacs in an uppity boys’ club and lost herself in the process. Tonight, while dealing with a lot of emotional fall-out, she diagnoses the night janitor with a dangerous heart murmur and is jolted back to life. (http://www.blackoutmusical.com) < Less

IN THIS SONG: In this funky, bluesy solo, 30-something Marie wonders where her youthful fire went, but hates feeling sorry for herself. Alone tonight in the shitty bodega she and husband, Joe, own in a shitty Brooklyn neighborhood, she talks herself into and back out of making a change for the better, using her typical sassy edge to hide the fear underneath.

IN THE MUSICAL: We’re off to see the wizard when 18-year old impressionable and slightly batty Kitty Katz enrolls in art... More > school in this high-octane, irreverent, and campy original musical. Kitty's suburbia-to-ghetto-to-SHoHo story gives us giant canvas glimpses of insanity, inspiration, acceptance...and plenty of that stuff called art. IN THIS SONG: In this trio ballad near the end of the show and featuring Kitty and her art school friends, Edward and Toni-O, they see their work in a gallery for the first time and understand what artistic vision is all about.
