Renascence Original Off-Broadway Cast RecordingRenascence (Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording)Genre: SoundtracksDescription: EDITORIAL REVIEWS Transport Group's world premiere musical Renascence is a theatrical exploration of identity and artistry through the poems of Pulitzer Prize-winning Edna St. Vincent Millay. At the age of 19 she writes a profoundly powerful poem Renascence catapulting her to stardom and releasing her from her rural humble beginnings into a bohemian reckless and unconventional urban lifestyle. Vincent captivates both men and women with her unapologetic sensuality and frank intellect and becomes the original riot grrrl of her time. Renascence not only follows the early years of this artist's life but also invites it's performers and audience to sit in this poet's soul and view humanity and nature as if through her window.Renascence has music by Carmel Dean (musical director If/Then American Idiot) book by Dick Scanlan (Thoroughly Modern Millie Everyday Rapture) and lyrics from the poems of Edna St. Vincent Millay.
