Fowl Play, which began its New York debut at Off-Broadway's AMT Theater August 8, will continue its limited engagement through August 17. The work features a book by Billy Recce and Yoni Weiss and a score by Recce. Tye Blue (Titaníque) is directing.
Jayke Workman and Daniel Quadrino co-star in the musical, about two queer best friends tasked with writing an apology musical for a homophobic fried chicken restaurant chain. Press notes describe it as a "love letter to the industrial musicals of the 1960s and a side-splitting satire of rainbow capitalism."
