His new musical XY, inspired by his experiences as an intersex man, is under option by Alhadeff Productions (half of the lead production team of Broadway's Come From Away and Memphis). Oliver will play selections from his upcoming debut EP and never-before-heard songs from his musicals in development, intimately performed with special guests and a four-piece band in a night of connection, healing, laughter and celebration.
