WHISPER HOUSE
:
Music & Lyrics by Duncan Sheik
Book & Lyrics by Kyle Jarrow
Conceived with Keith Powell
Directed by Steve Cosson
Choreographed by Billy Bustamante
In an eerie lighthouse on the remote coast of Maine, two lonely people face the beginning of World War II.
There’s Yasuhiro, a Japanese immigrant threatened by the rising wartime xenophobia—and Lily, his employer, who’s spent her whole life here. Their world is turned upside down when Lily’s young nephew, Christopher, is sent to live with them. Soon, the boy begins to hear strange music seeping through the walls. Is his imagination getting the better of him? Or are there ghosts here and maybe dangerous ones at that?
What happens next will change the lives of these three characters forever…
Written by Grammy and Tony winner Duncan Sheik (Spring Awakening, American Psycho) and Tony-nominated and Obie winner Kyle Jarrow (SpongeBob SquarePants, The Broadway Musical; The Wildness) and directed by Steve Cosson, Whisper House combines a lush original score with a haunting story of loss, love, and forgiveness.
