Last weekend, we invited a small group of friends and collaborators to take a look behind the scenes with writer Christie Baugher and director Danny Mefford (Dear Evan Hanson, Fun Home) in an open rehearsal we hosted of their musical-in-progress The Fitzgeralds of St. Paul. In the new year, we will be back in the room with Christie and Danny to further develop this exciting new show!
The Fitzgeralds of St. Paul is a two-person, one act full-length chamber musical about F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, celebrated literary figures of the Jazz Age. Part memory play, part gin-soaked vaudeville, The Fitzgeralds of St. Paul is a fictionalized, hyper-theatrical imagining of the lives and adventures of F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda – an evening in which two tragic, larger-than-life icons of a bygone era finally get to tell their story.
