NEW IMMERSIVE NIGHTCLUB MUSICAL – BUSHWICK, BROOKLYN
Oscar at the Crown
Set in a dystopian future, OSCAR at The Crown invites audiences into a secret bunker that has become home to queer castaways in the midst of a fascist regime. With limited connections to the culture they crave, the group routinely tells the story of queer icon Oscar Wilde, infusing their ritual with remnants of the art they once cherished above-ground—namely, The Real Housewives. With the arrival of a new addition to the bunker, however, the exiles’ blind faith in a genius but deeply flawed man is challenged.
