ENDANGERED! THE MUSICAL
OFF-BROADWAY 2017
BOOK & LYRICS BY KENI FINE
MUSIC BY TONY SMALL
ADDITIONAL MUSIC BY KENI FINE & LENA GABRIELLE
DIRECTED & CHOREOGRAPHED BY MICHAEL CHASE GOSSELIN
Originally commissioned by the National Zoo in conjunction with the Girls & Boys Clubs of Greater Washington, Endangered! first premiered at the Kennedy Center, before its smash hit engagement at the Davenport Theatre in NYC, July – December 2017. Called a “real gem” and “compulsively entertaining” by the Huffington Post, Endangered! is a rockin’ crockin’, funky monkey, multi-cultural, multi-species musical about a social media Whiz Kid reporter and a group of famous endangered animals from around the globe who must survive an unexpected superstorm.
Stranded at the Zoo when Superstorm Beyoncé hits New York City, the Kid and the animals must quickly learn to communicate and get along with each other. When they uncover a natural, mutual love and respect, they discover that by working together they can build a bridge – to reach Higher Ground! With live updates from ZNN – the Zoological News Network – as well as S.O.S. selfies from the field, old and new media alike are turned on and tuned in to follow the fate of our endangered heroes.
Endangered! is an entertaining and educational experience that not only teaches important lessons of teamwork and respect, but brings to light the plight of climate change and endangered animals. Suitable for ages 3-12.
FUTURE PLANS – Visceral Entertainment and Fineheart Productions are planning a non-Equity tour of Endangered!. www.endangeredthemusical.com
