Premiere of 'KING OF PANGAEA': A Musical Journey Through Fantasy and Loss at Lyric Theatre

The upcoming debut of a unique new musical promises to enthrall audiences at the Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma. Embracing a blend of realism, humor, and fantasy, 'KING OF PANGAEA' is set to premiere in Oklahoma City's vibrant Plaza District.

Intriguing Storyline Touched with Whimsey

Labeled as a 'fantasy musical memoir', this innovative production is inspired by the playwright Martin Storrow's personal experiences. It follows the protagonist, Christopher Crow, as he ventures to an imaginary island from his youth in search of meaning after experiencing a profound loss. The narrative promises to capture the hearts of theatergoers with its poignant themes and imaginative storytelling.

A Collaborative Artistic Effort

The creation of 'KING OF PANGAEA' began in 2017 and has since undergone development across various U.S. states, including California, New York, and Utah. After a staged concert reading at the National Alliance for Musical Theatre Festival in New York City, the production garnered enough interest to plan its first full-scale staging. The Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma, in conjunction with the Aurora Theatre of Georgia, presents this ambitious work as part of their New Works Initiative, aimed at bringing new and groundbreaking productions to the stage each season.

Ticket Information and Support

Those interested can catch the musical from March 23 through April 7 at the Lyric’s Plaza Theatre. Attendees can secure their tickets by visiting the official website or contacting the Lyric Theatre's box office. Noteworthy financial contributions from the Frank Young Fund for New Musicals, National Alliance for Musical Theatre, and O.K. Detrick Foundation have been instrumental in bringing this production to life.
