BOOK & LYRICS BY PETER KELLOGG
MUSIC BY DAVID FRIEDMAN
DIRECTED & CHOREOGRAPHED BY MICHAEL CHASE GOSSELIN
Money Talks the Musical made its world premiere off-Broadway at the Davenport Theatre in July 2017. They say money talks… and this money has a lot to say! As the man on the hundred, Ben is not pleased by what he sees in America today and he’s done keeping his mouth shut.
Over the course of this 90-minute musical comedy, Ben is passed from a hedge fund manager, to a stripper, to a judge, to his mistress who’s a nun, to… well, you get the idea. Armed with a lifetime of famous sayings, Ben must convince everyone to change their priorities before it’s too late.
Inspired by the writings of Ben Franklin, the play La Ronde, and the huge mess America is in today, Money Talks is a fast-paced madcap romp filled with life, liberty and laughs for all.
StageBuddy raved, "Watch out Alexander Hamilton! There’s another Founding Father in town and he’s full of witticisms and songs...Closer in tone to Spamilton than Hamilton, with an upbeat score, this quaint little show spreads its wings from time to time and when it does, it soars... this is old-fashioned, good-hearted fun." Off Off Online cheered, "“It’s a fabulous idea for a cheeky little musical comedy," and Wolf Entertainment Guide called it, "largely clever, entertaining and winningly performed."
FUTURE PLANS – A revised version will announce and tour and licensing opportunities soon. Check back for more information in early 2020. www.moneytalksmusical.com
