Book by Andrew Lippa
Music and Lyrics by Andrew Lippa
Based on the poem by Joseph Moncure March
 
Wild Party tells the story of one wild evening in a Manhattan apartment shared by Queenie and Burrs, a vaudeville dancer and vaudeville clown. In a relationship marked by vicious behavior and recklessness (mirroring the time in which they live), they decide to throw a party to end all parties. As the guests arrive, we meet an assortment of people living on the edge. Queenie and Burrs set out to make each other jealous, but Queenie begins to fall in love with her conquest named Black.
 
For mature audiences.
