Steve Aoki is creating a musical focusing on Mozart’s sister, a brilliant composer who struggles to be recognized in the male-dominated 18th century court. Yes, you read that right.
The show was formally scheduled at Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall on Jan. 24-25 and tells the story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s sister, Nan. The synopsis reads: When the young virtuosa is silenced and banned from all artistic endeavors, she rebels. In this untold story of the greatest composer of all time, two siblings embark on a journey of love, hate, tragedy, and redemption.
It will feature Broadway stars Robert Cuccioli�(Jekyll & Hyde) as Leopold, Grace Field (Disney on Broadway, Hercules) as Aloysia, Yvette Gonzalez-Nacer (Hadestown, In The Heights) as Constanze, Ruby Lewis (Paramour) as Nan, Anthony Rapp (Rent, If/Then) as Salierii, and Justin Matthew Sargent (Rock of Ages, Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark) as Mozart, among other leading talents.
Mozart² The New Musical features music from Steve Aoki himself and various artists, with book & lyrics by Tegan Summer, an original score by Gregory Nabours, story by Mr. Summer and Colette Freedman and dynamic choreography by Dwight Rhoden & Desmond Richardson, with Ferly Prado.
A representative for Aoki said this week that more would be revealed about the project by the end of August.
