Eddie the Marvelous

Eddie's life is in crisis...

For ten years, Eddie and his mom Louise have agreed about what makes a good life: David Bowie records, Star Trek reruns, and takeout dinners. But as Eddie enters his mid-twenties, anxiety and depression start to consume him. So when he discovers that Louise has a secret boyfriend, he retreats into his adolescent obsessions, losing grip on reality; his reaction threatens to shatter both his fragile equilibrium and their relationship. 

Eddie the Marvelous is a coming-of-age musical with a sweeping, glam-rock score - a funny, heartwarming story about a mother and son learning to support each other through all of life’s changes.

Eddie has been workshopped at Northwestern’s AMTP, the O’Neill National Music Conference, Theatreworks’ New Works Festival, and Berkeley Rep's Ground Floor. It is written for a cast of five and a four-piece band.
