It's official: 'White Noise' rock musical will open in April at the Royal George
The Theater Loop: "Dates are now official for 'White Noise,' the edgy new rock musical about a white separatist singing duo that's headed to Chicago this spring — with an eye on a future Broadway gig. Whoopi Goldberg is one of the producers, along with Holly Way, Jay Strommen and Tom Leonardis. The show, which features a cast of 19, will begin preview performances at the Royal George Theatre on April 1, with an official opening slated for April 9. Tickets will go on sale in early February for an eight-week run, but it is hoped that the Chicago run will be significantly longer than that.

I've been following the progression of this musical for a while, and I'm excited to see it's getting another production. The whole premise of a show about the subtle and out-loud messages music can be used to send is a really exciting concept for me, and one that has existed (as this one does, oer se) in popular music for a while (Fela Kuti discusses how he wants to turn his music into a political weapon against the Nigerian overlords and the corrupt government he lives under). I'll be anxious to see how this new audience responds to it, and if it does indeed make it to Broadway, which seems to be their end goal.
