ARRANGEMENTS: A New Musical is a world-premiere original musical set on Valentine's night inside a queer nightclub in Charlotte, NC. The bar was built by a man who died of AIDS and left it to the people who loved him — his sister, her husband, and his daughter, now grown and tending bar on the night everything comes undone. Into this world walks a ghost from the past, and over the course of one night, every relationship in the room is forced to reckon with what it actually is.
The show features an all-original score performed live by a five-piece band, a cast of eight, and six audience vote points embedded in the dramatic structure. The votes are not a gimmick — they externalize the decisions the characters cannot make for themselves. Audiences determine which version of the truth gets spoken aloud, which secrets stay buried, and whether the people onstage choose to stay or go. Every performance is the same show and a different show.
