Anthony Sirk, Purdue Theatre Costume Shop Manager, and Baxter Chambers, recent Purdue graduate, opening a world premiere musical - Mr. Confidential // The Studio Theater // May 3 - May 14
Book and Lyrics by Samuel Garza-Bernstein, Music by David Snyder
The sizzle starts here…A story of family, dreams, innocence, love and scandal. When Bob Harrison created Confidential Magazine in 1952, he gave the public gossip, humor and s*x. But he also offered something totally unexpected - the truth about the rich and famous. It quickly became the #1 selling magazine in America. Soon, Bob wasn't just telling the story, he was the story, with headlines, scandals and a wild ride of his own. A giddy, vibrant tale set in New York and Hollywood at their most glamorous and dangerous. This is a fable, but almost all of it really happened! Don’t miss this World Premiere!
TALK BACKS:
Enjoy a cold Sun King beer on us and find out how it all comes together! Meet the cast and creative team following our second Sunday Matinee of each production (Mr. Confidential – May 7).
