Why see The Untitled Unauthorized Hunter S. Thompson Musical?
New Season
From Tony Award-winning director Christopher Ashley and composer and lyricist Joe Iconis comes the electrifying Untitled Unauthorized Hunter S. Thompson Musical! A wild ride through Thompson's chaotic career from the 40s to the 2000s, this high energy, rebellious rock musical follows the legendary writer's mission to challenge authority and fight for society's misfits.
As the pioneer of Gonzo journalism, his battles with a corrupt political system, his relentless pursuit of freedom, and his personal struggles with addiction are front and center, a unique look at a man whose vision sparked revolutions and more than a little destruction in their wake. Filled with humor, rebellion, and raw emotion, the show is as unpredictable and larger-than-life as the man it portrays.
