THE MONKEY KING, co-written by GMTWP Alum Jonathan Fadner (Cycle 24)
THE MONKEY KING, a new musical co-written by GMTWP Alum Jonathan Fadner (Cycle 24) was produced at the Howe Theatre on Roosevelt Island in early August 2018.
The show, co-written with Kimbirdlee Fadner, is a theatrical retelling of an ancient Chinese legend, from the epic Ming Dynasty novel "Journey to the West," has entertained for centuries with a cast of mythical creatures that can transform and transcend earthly realms and triumph amidst epic battles and quests.
The show is in its early stage of development and was treated like a work in progress, using minimal set and costume design, and letting the music and dialogue tell the story.
