Almanac The Musical

Almanac The Musical at Cohen Auditorium

Why see Almanac The Musical?

Brand new musical

Inspired by the work of prolific composer TJ Anderson, this exciting new musical from university students Harrison Clark and Ben Mizrach seeks to answer important questions facing black artists today as they set out to connect with cultural identity through their music and artistry. 

Through a high-energy fusion of genres including jazz, folk, hip-hop, and R&B, key questions are explored: What is Black art, and how is it defined? Who can create Black art? And do artists who identify as Black in this country have an obligation to create what we've come to call Black Art? A fascinating concept for audiences and creators,  be prepared and ready for a great, electrifying new theatrical and musical experience.

Raw an original

I saw the show advertised and decided to stop in. Wow. This is one of the most creative and lively shows. Only the 1st act performed with a few #’s from second act as play is still in development. The music was high energy and so good and creative. It started with a hip hop theme and then R&D and then Jazz. Each main Character represented a genre of music and as description says they debate thru song and other what exactly it means to play and appreciate black music. There were times I wanted to dance and sing along. Guess I’ll have to see it again. A great show and a great value. Good luck to the creators Harrison Clark and Ben Mizrach, you’ve got a good one here. Well done ... Read more
