NYTimes profiles The Shaggs: Philosophy of the World Musical

shaggs poster
Dear Friends,

We're now in our 2nd week of previews, and the show is coming together nicely. Spectacularly. We spend time every day writing new material to make it better, and the actors rehearse 4 hours every day to incorporate the changes, making a fresh, new experience every night. Last night the show was on fire - and we still have 2 more weeks of previews to make it yet better!

Also, a wonderful writer for the NYTimes wrote an article about what we're up to. Read it HERE.

Tickets? The show's at Playwrights Horizons on 42nd st. Come see the fresh previews now, or see the fully-flowered show during its run from June 7 to July 3. (Use this top secret code SHAGFLY when ordering tix for a special discount!)

I hope I see you at one of the shows!

love and blessings,
Gunnar

I saw The Shaggs: Philosophy of the World on Saturday afternoon. Sat in the front row and loved the show. Is there any plan to move it on after this run? How about a recording? I'd adore a cast album. Even a tee shirt--love the logo. Thanks much for a great show on a truly interesting and unique subject.

A great LP.
