THE WILD PARTY // THE FITZGERALD THEATER // CARDINAL THEATRICALS

DIRECTOR + PRODUCER + DESIGNER

With a little determination and an awesome team, I brought Andrew Lippa’s (then) new musical to the grand Fitzgerald Theatre in the Twin Cities. Once graced by classic variety stars, the theatre was the perfect backdrop for this Jazz-age show with an edge. We added a touch of cinematic flair with a 22-foot turntable and a giant looming ‘Vaudeville’ sign that hung over the stage. Our cast set the stage ablaze with "eye-popping, exacting choreography" (Star Tribune) with “terrific, well-sung!” (Pioneer Press) talent.  It remains one of my all-time favorites.
