On through March 3rd, a new musical from the Impostors combines dystopia with whimsy. | ✍️ kerryreid
Kyle Smart/The Impostors Theatre Company
Dominick Alesia’s original musical, now in a world premiere with the Impostors under Stefan Roseen’s direction, follows a young girl, Amelia, as she searches through a country shattered by war for Miranda, the older sister she never knew she had. Along the way, much like Dorothy and Alice, she encounters helpmates who are on their own quest, and odd-duck opponents who throw obstacles in her way.If dystopian whimsy is a thing, then Alesia’s show nails it.
Alesia’s score contains clever nods to everything from Gilbert and Sullivan’s “I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General” to “Make ‘Em Laugh” from. Gabe Retemeier and Victoria Olivier provide rich vocals as Amelia and Miranda’s parents and gruesome comic chops as Mr. and Mrs. Severhead, a morbid couple whose desire to resurrect their own dead daughter leads them to extreme measures.
