Festival Preview: LEWIS LOVES CLARK with Guest Host Will Lacker (Fest '22)

  • Summary

  • Welcome to a new episode of NEW@NAMT: The Next Wave of Musical Theatre Writers, where we spotlight emerging voices in musical theatre. This week, host Jean-Paul Yovanoff from Musical Theatre Radio is joined by co-host Will Lacker (Fest '22) to introduce Mike Ross and Dylan MarcAurele, the creators of Lewis Loves Clark.

    Lewis Loves Clark is a fast-paced, tragicomic musical that reimagines the famous Corps of Discovery expedition through a modern lens. With a genre-blending score of bluegrass, folk, pop, and show tunes, the musical explores the complex and humorous dynamics between Meriwether Lewis (a closeted alcoholic), William Clark (oblivious yet endearing), Sacagawea (constantly exasperated), and York (who'd rather be birdwatching).

    In this episode, Mike and Dylan discuss their creative partnership, the inspiration behind Lewis Loves Clark, and the eclectic musical influences that shape the show. You’ll also get a sneak peek into the development process, from the Dramatists Guild Fellowship to the 2023 Richard Rodgers Award.

    Join us as we dive into the funny, thought-provoking world of Lewis Loves Clark and learn what’s next for this unique new musical. Whether you’re a theatre professional or a fan of musical theatre, this episode offers a front-row seat to a fresh, original work that’s making waves.
