The satirical CANDLIGHT DINNER and the profoundly moving THE REASON WHY are part of Chorus of Fools “Twice Upon a Stage” that plays the Greenfinch Theatre and dive bar through the weekend. CANDLELIGHT DINNER is not laugh out loud funny but has plenty of ridiculous situational adult humor thanks to Jocelyn Padilla, Xander Huber, and their work with their ‘emotional support puppets.’ THE REASON WHY’s melancholic bittersweetness is both a heartbreaking and uplifting tale of the human spirit. The poignant story builds audience empathy and wets eyes with tears. Its superbness is in its originality, illustrating that our best selves can emerge when we are at our lowest.  

Co-written by Amelia, the song features writing credits from Caroline Pennell (Demi Lovato, Ava Max), Jackson Lee Morgan (Sabrina Carpenter, Machine Gun Kelly) Charles Roberts Nelsen, and Kyle Buckley. The production was led by Inverness (Natalie Jane, Jessie Murph) and Pink Slip (Estef, Phangs, Truitt).
