F#@king Up Everything to Play at the Woolly Mammoth Theatre
The New Musical Foundation and Off The Leash Productions are proud to announce that David Eric Davis' and Sam Forman's critically-acclaimed F#@KING UP EVERYTHING will premiere as part of the 2011 Capital Fringe Festival. The musical comes to DC following a widely popular run in New York City, where it was called "powerful, funny, moving and major entertainment" noting Davis' and Forman's charming and witty book. Davis and Forman collaborated with Matt Hinkley on original musical direction, orchestrations and arrangements. Jay D. Brock is directing the show with musical direction and new orchestrations and arrangements by Taylor Williams.
Set against the backdrop of Brooklyn's indie music scene complete with a gallery of hipsters, stoners, artists, cougars, songwriters and puppeteers, F#@KING UP EVERYTHING is a rock musical comedy with heart. And ironic t-shirts. Can Christian Mohammed Schwartzelberg stay true to himself and still get the girl? Or will he lose her to the guy in leather pants?
"I fell in love with this show when I saw it in New York and I am thrilled to be able to bring this exciting work to the DC market," said Charlie Fink, New Musical Foundation.
"Summer in Washington will be even hotter with a real rock musical that keeps everyone laughing. Eric and Sam took a show that was a big hit in New York and made it even better. Washington audiences are in for a rocking good time," said Jeremy Handelman, Off The Leash Productions.
Tickets will be available at www.capfringe.org, or by calling 866.811.4111. F#@KING UP EVERYTHING is presented as part of The 2011 Capital Fringe Festival, a program of the Washington, DC non-profit Capital Fringe and is produced by Jeremy Handelman/Off The Leash Productions, LLC.
