This new “cautionary musical” follows a pair of sisters who lead a pop band that mixes irresistible harmonies with coded rhetoric promoting messages of white power to produce chart-blazing hits. With a radio rock/hip-hop score and high-octane choreography, White Noise fuses today’s blog and headline stories into a narrative that challenges our conventional wisdom about freedom of speech, entertainment, and the dramatic effects of pop culture on the greater public. The musical portrays the inadvertent dangers of extremism and its mainstream penetration into our youthful society. Talk back sessions are planned following some of the performances to encourage audience discussion.
