[ Broadway on Demand :: 8/27] Not sure how this didn’t make my radar sooner but I’m just hearing about Burning Man: The Musical. YES, It’s real! It’s described as a “musical comedy about techies vs. hippies at Burning Man.” Oakland Magazine ran an interview with its creator, Matt Werner, who says the “idea for a musical came about because Burning Man is a very musical and larger-than-life event. It’s played out on a seemingly infinite stage, and a lightbulb went off about creating an immersive theater piece set at Burning Man. Everyone is a participant at Burning Man.” Well, there ya go. It premieres Friday on Broadway on Demand.
