Created by songwriters Valerie Vigoda and Brendan Milburn, A Little Midsummer Night’s Music (subsequently renamed Midsummer Night) is a rock-musical adaptation of William Shakespeare’s beloved classic. Set in modern day at an outdoor rock festival, the musical is a collision of rock, iambic pentameter, and glow sticks where rock stars Titania and Oberon quarrel over an electric guitar, circus performer Puck creates havoc, and roadie Bottom finally gets a chance to shine.
Members of the musical trio GrooveLily, Vigoda and Milburn have received critical acclaim for their theatrical work, including Striking 12 (Lucille Lortel nomination for Best Musical) and Sleeping Beauty Wakes (two Ovation Awards, including World Premiere Musical).
