MAIL: A NEW MUSICAL

Area Premiere

June 6 – 29, 2003 – Hey City Theater

Music – Michael Rupert
Book and Lyrics – Jerry Colker

Have you ever wanted to just run away from it all?  Alex does.  Suffering from anxiety over his lack of writing success and indecision about his girlfriend, Alex decides to literally run away for 3 months.  He returns to find a house full of withered plants, an unending stream of telephone messages, and stacks and stacks of unopened mail.  And that’s when the fun begins!  Alex’s mail comes to life as we – along with Alex – learn what’s been happening during his absence.  A wild and crazy romp, Mail has proven a hit with audiences coast to coast.
