Abandon All Hope — MINOS
Original Cast Recording, Staged Concert Readings
Music and Lyrics by Samuel Perlman and Mitchell Huntley
Developed in collaboration with Libby Hatton
Abandon All Hope is an uproariously funny adaptation of Dante's Inferno, turning the 700-year-old Italian classic into an irreverent and humorous love letter to the musical theatre genre. The show follows bewildered Florentine poet Dante Alighieri as he finds himself on a quest through Hell - which is, itself, one big musical theatre production. After he strikes a deal with the devil and takes the reins of Hell in Satan's stead, things quickly take a turn for the worse, and chaos ensues. (Blurb from press release).
I joined the team for Abandon All Hope’s studio album, recorded at the historic Electrical Audio studios, recording the role of the showtune-loving villain, Minos. I continued to perform with the cast for two live concerts in two cities: the first at Chelsea Table + Stage in NYC and the second as part of the Theo’s Spring Concert Series just outside of Chicago.
