Holy Foley!
A New Musical
Prepare for Holy Foley!
Prepare yourselves for a theatrical experience unlike anything you've ever heard – or seen! Holy Foley! isn't just a musical; it's a vibrant, hilarious, and utterly human journey into the unsung artistry behind the magic of cinema. Crafted from the pages of Vanessa Theme Ament's acclaimed book The Foley Grail and her own incredible career as a Foley artist, this show brings the bustling, brilliant world of sound effects to vibrant life on stage.
Why You'll Love Holy Foley!
Imagine a Broadway stage transformed into a working Foley studio, where every single creak, crunch, and whoosh isn't just sound, it's a meticulously crafted performance – and often, pure comedy! Join the incomparable Genevieve Collins, a veteran Foley artist with decades of brilliance, as she navigates the thrilling tightrope walk of her career and a marriage hanging by a thread. Alongside her is the charming and easy-going Jerome Phillips, her perfect Foley partner, whose moves are as smooth as their sound effects. Keeping them all on track (and on beat!) is the brilliant, no-nonsense mixer, Anahid Begosian, a tech whiz with a secret jazz heart! And get ready for sparks to fly and wits to clash when Samantha Barrington, the socially awkward, film-obsessed PhD candidate, stumbles into their world.
But the stakes are higher than a Hollywood high-rise! When the very future of their careers hangs in the balance, this dream team has to be told, "You’re Always Doing it Wrong," all while Genevieve and Samantha share past professional experiences that were "Two Steps Forward and One Step Back." You'll be tapping your toes to witty, wonderfully melodic original songs like "We've Got a Show to Do Today," and cheering for the underdogs in "One in a Million," sung by the attention-hungry Phil Whitman and his adoring "Echoes." From the elegant Charlotte Nelson, a living link to Foley's golden past, to the studio's conflicted Post-Production Operations Manager, Tony Barton – the colorful characters who round out this incredible ensemble will capture your heart. Finally, as Genevieve decides she realizes it is time to be, “Working Without a Net,” you’ll cheer her on for being the hero of her own story.
