HUZZAH!

The Old Globe, Fall 2025

Book, music, and lyrics by Nell Benjamin and Laurence O’Keefe
Directed by Annie Tippe

Gather ye lords and ladies, fairies and wizards, knights and dragons at the Kingsbridge Midsummer Renaissance Faire, which comes to glorious life in the world premiere musical comedy Huzzah! Two sisters, one a princess and one who works in insurance, must stop fighting to save their father’s Renaissance Faire from financial ruin (and the occasional mead-based fire). When they gamble the payroll to hire the greatest swordsman on the whole Ren Faire circuit, will things go fair or foul at the Faire? Don thy doublet, cinch thy corset, and grab a turkey leg for a midsummer night’s screamingly funny musical by Olivier Award winners and Tony Award nominees Laurence O’Keefe (Legally Blonde, Heathers the Musical, Bat Boy) and Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde, Mean Girls, the Globe’s Come Fall in Love – The DDLJ Musical), and directed by Lortel Award-winning Annie Tippe (Off Broadway’s Octet).

In addition to Benjamin, O'Keefe, and Tippe, the creative team for the world premiere musical of Huzzah! includes choreography by Katie Spelman; orchestrations by Ben Green; music direction by Alejandro Senior; music supervision by Mary-Mitchell Campbell; scenic design by Todd Rosenthal; costume design by Haydee Zelideth; lighting design by Jeff Croiter; sound design by Connor Wang; wig design by Earon Chew Nealy; fight direction by Jacob Grigolia-Rosenbaum; voice and dialect by Emmelyn Thayer; associate direction by Hayley Goldenberg; associate choreography by Kelsey Burns; associate music supervision by Elizabeth Doran; casting by The Telsey Office, Bethany Knox, CSA and Jimmy Larkin; and production stage management by Michael Passaro.
