GONE MISSING

A musical by The Civilians
written by Steven Cosson from interviews
by the company
music and lyrics by Michael Friedman

 

Gone Missing is a wry and whimsical documentary musical about things that go missing -- keys, personal identification, a Gucci pump...or one's mind. The show is a collection of very personal accounts of things lost and found, creating a unique tapestry of the ways in which we deal with and relate to loss in our lives.

The Civilians’ Gone Missing is a wildly funny and marvelously inventive meditation on things “gone missing”, combining elements of performance art, documentary theater, and musicals. A flexible company of six performs more than thirty characters, intertwining their stories of lost objects with tales from some unusual "finders," ranging from a retired NYPD cop to a pet psychic.

It features music and lyrics by up-and-coming composer Michael Friedman incorporating salsa, ballads, operetta and pop. One of the biggest hits of the 2007-2008 Off-Broadway season, Mad Cow Theatre is pleased to present the regional debut of this unique piece in signature storytelling cabaret style about the little things in life seen largely.
