Tulipomania
The Musical
Book, Music and Lyrics by Michael Ogborn
Directed by Terrence J. Nolen
On the F. Otto Haas Stage
Before we had the subprime mortgage crisis, Holland had the Tulip bulb bubble. Six strangers in an Amsterdam hash bar recall this seedy story of love, sex, money, and power. From the writer and composer of Café Puttanesca and Baby Case comes a new musical that gets high off our financial lows.
Tulipomania: The Musical is produced under the auspices of the Arden’s Independence Foundation New Play Showcase.
This play is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
