BRAND NEW FOUR CHARACTER VERSION! In this new musical, award-winning author/composer Stephen Dolginoff (Thrill Me) has blended historical facts with a splash of fiction, a dose of comedy, and plenty of music to tell the incredible behind-the-scenes story of Orson Welles' notorious 1938 radio adaptation of H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds. When Panic begins, one full year has passed since the fateful night of the historic Halloween broadcast. The now-famous
actor/director Orson Welles has gathered his Mercury Theatre Company back together at the CBS Radio Studio to present a brand new live radio musical which cleverly dramatizes how the broadcast was originally devised, performed, and received. As Welles hosts, the cautious producer, ethical writer, and wise-cracking leading lady help re-enact the incredible series of events which reveal how none of them could stop Welles from creating what he was sure would be his ticket to fame in Hollywood. But, in the process, he also created panic, pandemonium, and outrage---after many listening Americans mistakenly believed that the radio drama was a news report declaring a real invasion from Mars! Was it an accident, or was it Welles' plan all along? Either way, Orson Welles, H.G. Wells, and the entire media industry would never be the same. Panic is scored for one piano, and requires three men, one woman, an off-stage voice, simple scenery and a lot of imagination! The actors perform with their scripts in-hand. REVIEWS:
The music is quite wonderful, the lyrics are really sharp! - BroadwayRadio
Dolginoff does well by Welles and Wells! - Theatremania
The stuff of legend and a benchmark in broadcast history! - Broadwayworld.com Please note: Panic is a fictionalized dramatization, inspired by a true story and facts in the public domain. The War of the Worlds broadcast sequence is a parody based solely on the original 1898 novel by H.G. Wells.
