Performances begin September 14 at Roundabout's Laura Pels Theater for the world premiere of Scotland, PA, a new musical by composer-lyricist Adam Gwon (Ordinary Days) and playwright Michael Mitnick (Sex Lives of Our Parents). In the dark comedy, a couple running a burger joint in a sleepy Pennsylvania town cook up a (bloodthirsty) plan to super-size their lives.
Adapted from Billy Morrissette's indie film of the same name (and William Shakespeare's Macbeth), Scotland, PA is directed by Lonny Price with choreography by Josh Rhodes. The world premiere stars Wicked's Ryan McCartan and Head Over Heels' Taylor Iman Jones as the husband-and-wife duo at the center of the story.
