Niagara: The Musical

Niagara: The Musical

DC Arts Center
2438 18th Street NW Washington

Niagara at its core is an anthology that covers the embellished stories of Niagara falls jumpers, the daredevils. Despite this, the show is narratively reinforced and framed around our storyteller, Jesse Sharp. Jesse claims this role, as he has the ability to use semi-omniscient narration. With this, Jesse manipulates the spirits of his fellow dead stunt performers into telling their life's stories- the process being both painful and enchanting. Through the mysticism of his environment, Jesse realizes that he's not nearly in as much control as he once thought- putting him on a spiritual and emotional journey in which he discovers the true meaning of legacy, inertia, and acceptance.
