Queensbury Theatre (CityCentre) is pleased to announce the cast and creative team for UNLOCK’D, A Moderish Musical Romance by Sam Carner (Lyricist and Librettist) and Derek Gregor (Composer) playing at Queensbury Theatre Feb. 7-25, 2018.
A whimsical coming-of-age story set “back then-ish,” UNLOCK’D fuses baroque and classical with contemporary pop musical theatre in a story about the roles we are born into and people we secretly wish to become. The musical tells the story of Clarissa, a smart, passionate, young woman in eighteenth century England who has reached the limit of her frustration living in the shadow of her gorgeous step-sister Belinda. Belinda complacently commands the attention of every gentleman of court, so, as the last party of the season approaches, Clarissa decides this is the day she’ll get Belinda married off and finally win a suitor for herself. But in a world rife with vanity, vacuous courtiers, mischievous gnomes, prudish fairies, and plenty of sibling rivalry to go around, it may not be as easy as Clarissa imagines. Based on Alexander Pope's satirical poem "The Rape of the Lock".
