BIO
A heartfelt, twisted, fantastical re-telling of one of pop/rock’s most notorious conspiracy theories. Taking cue from the year 1966, the music echoes the swinging London pop culture scene while the lyrics express new perspectives on the pressures and anxieties of pop superstardom with darkly comic, macabre flourish. A re-telling??? – but YES! Our lead character is painted as a conquering hero and tragic figure. And in the end, he does get his wings.
Faul! The Musical is ultimately a whimsical, loving triubute to a force of nature, the power of suggestion and childlike wonder. It is for music fans, theorists and lovers of mystery. We all need someone to believe in. Be wise in what you believe.
