Inspired by the life, fame, and philosophy of Andy Warhol, this is a collision of high and low, commercial and the artistic, traditional and the innovative.

A pop opera created in collaboration with Opera Philadelphia, Andy: A Popera premiered in Fall 2015 as part of the 2015 Philadelphia Fringe Festival for a completely sold out run. Selections will be seen at the Seattle Symphony in April 2017.

A musical mélange inspired by the legacy of Andy Warhol, ANDY: A Popera explodes onto the stage — presenting singing soup cans, Marilyns, and a randy banana on stage alongside characters inspired by Warhol Superstars. It’s an artistic collision of cabaret and opera exploring Warhol’s influence on the modern world and what happens when a man becomes a brand?
