Written by Jack Richman (Peace, Love, and Cupcakes) and featuring Mateo Lizcano (Dear Evan Hansen, Kimberly Akimbo, Radio City Christmas Spectacular)!
Step into the world of Athanasia—a bold, new sci-fi musical in development that dares to ask: what’s the cost of living forever? Created and written by Jack Richman, with additional lyrics and book by Katie Nieto and Tim Burns and additional book by Ryan Jacobs, Athanasia follows a pioneering geneticist, Eve Horowitz who awakens 200 years after her death to a futuristic Martian colony shaped by her legacy. As she reunites with her daughter—now the powerful leader of a society obsessed with engineered perfection and eternal life—she must confront the consequences of her own scientific ambition.
This concert presentation at The Green Room 42 offers an early glimpse into the music and heart of Athanasia, featuring powerful performances accompanied by a killer band including Henry Roseman, Mitch Lee, Lucy Southan, and Xander Dawson.
