Ray Bradbury's 2116

  • Ray_bradbury_large

The musical 2116, originally written 55 years ago by legendary author Ray Bradbury, is only now finally seeing its debut, and it is a true slice of history. It feels authentic to its bygone time, not only in the innocence and naïveté of the musical theatre genre of 50 years ago, but also to that generation's vision of what was then the distant future. The staging builds on a vaudevillian Cirque du Soleil styling in costumes and set, the dances are clean and simple, and the music is sweet — lending charm to an otherwise amply surreal story that is part O. Henry, part Bladerunner.

Note:

Wisdom (1916), a brand-new work by Bradbury, is also currently in production at the Fremont.
