“A K-Pop/J-Pop/Scissor Sisters-on-speed electronic dance party euphoria” -them.
“Have a four-in-one experience. The draw here is all in the nouns: Immersive, queer, nightclub, musical.” -Backstage
“Pop culture at the end of the world” -Metro New York
WHAT: After a sold out and critically acclaimed January and February run at 3 Dollar Bill, the dystopian queer nightclub musical OSCAR at The Crown returns for an open-ended run, with previews beginning May 10th and an official opening on May 30th. Sequins, reality television, and the complete works of Oscar Wilde: not much else survives in a secret bunker far in the fascist future. OSCAR at The Crown is an immersive nightclub musical detailing the rise and fall of one of history’s most flamboyant characters. AND it’s about the Real Housewives and a minor character from that show The O.C. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And yes, it’s ALSO about us: staring at our phones, wondering if our latest Instagram is going to flop and if the bombs have started flying yet.
See you on the dance floor! Wear something cool!
