Mankynde

Book and Lyrics by Julie Crosby
Choreographed by Jordana Toback
Music and Lyrics by Nancy Magarill
Directed by Louis Scheeder

A post-modern musical based on the medieval morality play of the same name wherein Mercy, Mischief and ‘the vice squad’ (a boy band representing the vices) fight over the fate of Mankynde, who is ironically played by a woman. There were no actual dancers in the show bringing up the challenge of staging numbers to look like the pop acts they are referencing with a devout sense of humor in tact. The Vice Squad hit single “GET REAL” was staged as if Monty Python gave birth to 3 new kids on the block.
