In this riveting rock theatre event, two hometown heroes create an album that will immortalize them as romantics, rockers and rivals. Hung... explores the tumultuous story of these two friends - united by their passion for music and one another, and the beautiful muse who captivates and inspires them. Passion turns to obsession, and a once friendly rivalry is consumed by suspicion, resentment and tragedy. HUNG ON A BLONDE PONYTAIL: An Act of Rock features an exciting new text, proclaimed by The Phillyist as “ninety minutes of compelling, well-crafted plot and solid, gorgeous pop songs." Conceived and written by BCKSEET's Founder & Producing Artistic Director G DeCandia, composed by Joe Horak, and directed by Christopher L. Butterfield, Hung... captured audiences this past April to rave reviews and satisfied audiences. "For those who missed the premiere, this is an opportunity for you to experience this work. It is an experience, and it’s not to be missed.” |
