There are lots of things we don’t know about Music Theatre of Madison’s upcoming production of “Wild Party.” But there is one thing we know for sure and that’s how to get a reduced-price ticket to the show: Become a Facebook fan. The first 100 fans will get $5 tickets to “Wild Party.” The second 100 fans will get $10 tickets.
If you belong to Facebook, you should be able to find MTM’s Facebook page here. That link may have to be changed when they pass that all-important 100 fan threshold: Then MTM will be able to claim a unique Facebook URL.
But let’s return to “Wild Party” for just a bit: Here’s what we know and don’t know about this upcoming production:
DON”T KNOW exactly when it’s going to be staged (probably summer 2010).
DO KNOW it’s based on The Wild Party: The Lost Classic by Joseph Moncure March.
DON’T KNOW whether the MTM production is going to follow in the footsteps of original Broadway production, that featured Mandy Patinkin and Eartha Kitt and music by Michael John LaChiusa; or the subsequent Off-Broadway production that featured Taye Diggs and music by Andrew Lippa.
DO KNOW you can purchase The Wild Party (2000 Original Broadway Cast)
or The Wild Party (Original Off-Broadway Cast)
or download individual songs as MP3s.
DON”T KNOW who’s going to be in the Madison cast.
DO KNOW it sounds like a fascinating production — and we’re eager to take a closer look at the book version illustrated by Art Spiegelman.
