Corey Cott and Hannah Elless Debut Songs from New Einstein Musical REBEL GENIUS

Broadway's Corey Cott (Bandstand) and Hannah Elless (Bright Star) star in two newly released music videos from the new musical Rebel/Genius. With book, music and lyrics by Peabody Award-winning composer Matthew Puckett, Rebel/Genius is inspired by the early life of scientific genius, Albert Einstein. Cott and Elless perform "Faster" and "What Love Looks Like," singing the roles of Einstein and his first wife Mileva Maric, respectively.

The videos are released 94 years after Einstein's lauded Nobel Lecture which he delivered to the Nordic Assembly of Naturalists at Gothenburg, Sweden on July 11, 1923. Check out the songs below!

Physics and love collide in Rebel/Genius as a young, and highly ambitious, Albert Einstein falls madly in love with Mileva Maric and risks everything he has to find the perfect Unified Theory. The acclaimed new musical is an exploration into the heart and mind of a flawed icon and scientific genius. Max Planck, Niels Bohn and the Atomic Bomb all play a part in the journey and choices of a brilliant human being who is torn between a passionate love for the people in his life and a wild ambition to understand the universe.

Rebel/Genius was a finalist for the 2017 Jonathan Larson Grant presented by the American Theater Wing. The Atlantic Theater Company in NYC and the IAMA Theater Company in Los Angeles have presented developmental readings and a full production will be presented in 2019 at UCLA.
