Tickets On Sale Now for Michael John LaChiusa's QUEEN OF THE MIST
Queen of the Mist is a world premiere musical with words and music by 5-time Tony nominee Michael John LaChiusa (The Wild Party, Marie Christine, Hello Again).
Based on an astounding and outrageous true story, two-time Tony nominee Mary Testa (On the Town, 42nd Street, Marie Christine) stars as Anna Edson Taylor, who, in 1901, set out to be the first woman to shoot Niagara Falls in a barrel of her own design. Navigating both the treacherous Falls and a fickle public with a ravenous appetite for sensationalism, this unconventional heroine vies for her legacy in a world clamoring with swindling managers, assassins, revolutionaries, moralizing family, anarchists and activists.
Convinced that there is greatness in her and determined not to live as ordinary, she sets out to battle her fear and tempt her fate. Directed by 4-time Drama Desk nominee Jack Cummings III (Hello Again, See Rock City & Other Destinations, The Boys in the Band).
Queen of the Mist is the first production of Transport Group's ten-year cycle, "The 20th Century Project," exploring themes from each decade of the 20th century. Queen of the Mist takes place during the first decade, 1900-1910. Queen of the Mist continues Transport Group's long-time collaboration with LaChiusa, which includes revivals of the Drama Desk nominated productions of First Lady Suite and Hello Again.
