WHISPER HOUSE

Music & Lyrics by Duncan Sheik Book & Lyrics by Kyle Jarrow Conceived with Keith Powell Directed by Steve Cosson With Samantha Mathis, Alex Boniello, Jeb Brown, Wyatt Cirbus, Molly Hager, and James Yaegashi A dark and thrilling musical ghost story. In an eerie lighthouse on the remote coast of Maine, two lonely people face the beginning of World War II. There’s Yasuhiro, a Japanese immigrant threatened by the rising wartime xenophobia—and Lily, his employer, who’s spent her whole life here. Their world is turned upside down when Lily’s young nephew, Christopher, is sent to live with them. Soon, the boy begins to hear strange music seeping through the walls. Is his imagination getting the better of him? Or are there ghosts here and maybe dangerous ones at that? What happens next will change the lives of these three characters forever... Written by Grammy and Tony winner Duncan Sheik (Spring Awakening, American Psycho) and Tony-nominated and Obie winner Kyle Jarrow (Spongebob Squarepants, The Broadway Musical; The Wildness), and directed by Steve Cosson, WHISPER HOUSE combines a lush original score with a haunting story about fear of the other and the ways we can transcend it. Produced by The Civilians, in association with 59E59 Theaters. Run: January 11 - February 6, 2022 Video by ZANNI Productions
