The Wild Party is a musical by Michael John LaChiusa, based on a 1928 poem so scandalous that it was banned outright. It follows a mix of debaucherous vaudevillians as they attempt to drink and dance their way out of personal problems over the course of one fateful night. In this immersive staging, the audience is in the middle of all the drama in the 10,000 square foot Hangar at Stanley Marketplace is transformed into an art-deco dream of days long past.
