Described as a “philosophical musical fantasia,” Blue Wizard/Black Wizard is the latest project from Dave Malloy (the mastermind behind super hit Natasha, Pierre and the Comet of 1812) and Eliza Bent (playwright, The Hotel Colors). Maxamoo attended an earlier run of the show, about which we were lukewarm but hopefully for better things to come. You can read about that here.
