Today, the Disco Biscuits took to social media to share they’ve been working on a reimaged version of their 1999 Space Opera Hot Air Balloon for musical theatre, retitled as The Very Moon. The work will be presented for the first time as a workshop performance at FringeArts in Philadelphia on May 13.
The Very Moon is created by Jon Gutwillig, who had a major hand in the original work and features music by Gutwillig, Nicholas Schmidle and Aron Manger. Alex Bechtel served as musical director and handled arrangements for the upcoming production.
“I’ve been busy putting the final touches on our Space Opera, we’ve been simultaneously reimagining the OG Hot Air Balloon for …. musical theater!,” Manger wrote on Instagram. “From the minds of Jon Gutwillig and acclaimed journalist and author Nicholas Schmidle with musical contributions from yours truly, we are excited to present to you The Very Moon. A new tale of the Disco Biscuits’ famed 1999 Rock Opera. Join us on on May 13 at FringeArts in Philadelphia for a workshop performance of The Very Moon.
