The New Line season continues with the St. Louis premiere of Andrew Lippa's THE WILD PARTY, based on the epic Jazz-age poem about a decadent and deadly all-night party in 1920s Manhattan. In a relationship marked by vicious recklessness, vaudeville dancer Queenie and vaudeville clown Burrs decide to throw a party to end all parties. As the guests arrive, we meet an assortment of people living on the edges of society, and after a long night of decadence, Burrs' jealousy erupts and ends in tragedy. In the stark light of a new day, Queenie moves out into a brighter world, although not necessarily a brighter future, leaving the passed-out revelers in her wake.

The Wild Party won three Lucille Lortel Awards, the Drama Desk Award for outstanding music, and two Obie Awards. The New York Daily News called it “sizzling, vital and groundbreaking.” The New York Times said, "Its strong suit is summoning the anxious restlessness behind the hellbent hedonism of the days of Prohibition."
