From the award winning artistic duo who created Seattle Vice comes a new cabaret about love, classical music, art nouveau, and absinthe. Bohemia is a new musical set in 1890s Prague that combines the music of Dvo?ák and Chopin, with art by Alphonse Mucha. Historic artists like Sarah Bernhardt, George Sand, and interweave with green fairies, aerial numbers, dance, burlesque, classical piano battles, comedy, and original songs.
Famous Czech composer Antonin Dvo?ák has hit a wall and prior to composing his magnum opus he looks to the bottom of a bottle of absinthe for inspiration. In this macabre and mystical dream cabaret Dvo?ák is seduced by "The Green Fairy" and is visited by the ghost of late composer Frédéric Chopin. Chopin and many other famous Bohemians guide Dvo?ák as they search for the true source of inspiration and grasp at artistic immortality.
Bohemia will feature traditional absinthe service during intermission, delivered to the VIP section by the Green Fairies themselves.
Bohemia features original compositions by Mark Siano, Opal Peachey, and Dayton Alleman with a three piece classical trio backed by a vocal chorus (winners of 2014 Gypsy Rose Lee Award for Excellence in Composing and the 2015 Seattle Times Footlight Awards).
