Reasons to Run - Fugitive Songs - Tysen/Miller - Echo Theatre, St Louis

Reasons to Run from Fugitive Songs. Music by Chris Miller, Lyrics by Nathan Tysen.

Echo Theatre rehearsal, first run-through with the band.

**********************************************************************
Have you ever wanted to escape your life?

This innovative musical journey spotlights people on the run: a disgruntled Subway sandwich employee, a jilted ex-cheerleader, a pair of Patty Hearst fanatics, a stoner forced to rob a convenience store against his will, and many others. Blending traditional folk music with contemporary pop and gospel, Fugitive Songs offers a new sound for a restless America.

The world premiere song cycle is written by one of the countrys most exciting new musical theatre partnerships, Chris Miller and Nathan Tysen. They are the recipients of a 2007 Kitty Carlisle Hart Award, a 2006 Richard Rodgers Award, a 2004 Daryl Roth Creative Spirit Award, a 2003 Frederick Loewe Foundation Grant, and a 2003 Jonathan Larson Award. Their musical, The Burnt Part Boys, will be seen at Playwrights Horizons in New York City this season. Recently, they were commissioned to write a Broadway musical based on the book Tuck Everlasting.
