Bonnie Milligan Will Lead New Musical from [TITLE OF SHOW] Team at Delaware Theatre Co.

Delaware Theatre Company announces the world premiere musical Other World. This heartfelt, humorous musical explores the connections people make on- and off-line, while celebrating the families and friendships they need to thrive in any world.

Obie Award-winner and Tony Award nominee Hunter Bell wrote the book. Obie Award-winner Jeff Bowen and Ann McNamee wrote the music and lyrics. Adrienne Campbell-Holt, a Lucille Lortel Visionary Director Award recipient, is directing, and Karla Puno Garcia is the choreographer. Other World also features art direction by Academy Award-winning W?"tā Workshop (The Lord of the Rings, Avatar).

Other World tells the story of Sri and Lorraine, who are transported into Sri's favorite video game and find themselves trapped. Racing against the clock, the pair must work together, discover their inner strengths, and connect with gamers and avatars in order to survive and find a way home.

The show runs from February 23 to March 20, 2022, and stars Bonnie Milligan. Milligan currently is starring in Kimberly Akimbo and made her Broadway debut as Pamela in Head Over Heels, after originating the role at The Oregon Shakespeare Festival. First National Tour: original Pat in Kinky Boots. Off-Broadway: God Bless You Mr. Rosewater (Encores!), Gigantic (Vineyard Theatre); Jasper in Deadland (Prospect Theater). Television: recurring as Kathryn on Search Party (TBS), Happy! (Syfy).
