Broadway On Demand has announced the world premiere of the feature film Burning Man: The Musical. Burning Man: The Musical is a new musical comedy about techies vs. hippies at Burning Man and stars Morgan Siobhan Green (Be More Chill), Tally Sessions (Company, Anastasia), Max Crumm (Grease, Disaster!), Michelle Duffy (Heathers, Leap of Faith), Troy Iwata (Be More Chill), Allison Griffith (Sunset Boulevard), Ari Grooves (Tina, Head Over Heels), Mila Jam (Rent), Ysabel Jasa (Rent) and Michael F.

The film follows Molly, a promising young tech grad, as she returns to the playa of Black Rock City - this time employed by the very tech company that, unbeknownst to her, seeks to destroy it. After being given the task of acquiring drugs for her boss's exclusive party, Molly finds herself on a journey inward - and through the community of Burning Man - finds her truest self.
Featuring music inspired by what is played at Burning Man, the film and soundtrack features 18 tracks including the Burning Man crowd favorite, "Last Year's Burn Was Better."

"This film grew out of stories my oldest sister told me from attending Burning Man since the 1990s. When I attended my first Burn in 2015, I saw firsthand how my sister was transformed by Burning Man but struggled with what I saw versus what the experience was like in the early Burns," said
Matt Werner. "After six years of hard work, the composer Gene Back and I are excited to share Burning Man: The Musical with the world as a feature film. We worked with dozens of artists, builders, and camp leaders in the Burning Man community to incorporate their feedback into making this musical comedy."
