EARHART: MORE THAN A F**CKING MYSTERY (A Musical Flight) Comes to Hollywood Fringe
What do you know about Amelia Earhart? Most likely, it starts and ends with the fact that she disappeared over the Pacific Ocean in 1937. But there's so much more to know about the life of this outspoken feminist and aviation pioneer than the mystery surrounding her disappearance. The new musical Earhart: More Than A F*cking Mystery at the Hollywood Fringe Festival in June brings the story of this smart, scrappy and relentlessly ambitious woman to life with an all-female cast and a selection of catchy original songs.
BWW Review: THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO: The Musical Premieres Spectacularly at the Hollywood Fringe Festival
The musical expands on the many motifs raised in the novel while offering a fresh perspective on the nearly thousand-paged piece of literature. Originally written as a three-hour production, thankfully the Fringe show has been edited down to two. Those not familiar with the novel, however, may find themselves a bit lost in Act I given all the time shifts between the many scenes, but everything becomes much easier to follow once Act II kicks into gear. Ultimately it is a tale of love, loss, and extreme agony coupled by an undeniable thirst for retribution set in France in the mid-1800's when women's lives were set by the man they married and little else.
