IN REAL LIFE
Book and lyrics by Nick Green
Music and lyrics by Kevin Wong
Directed by Gregory Prest
Music Direction by Chris Barillaro
What does it mean to be real when your life is written in lines of code?
Max is a brilliant tech prodigy destined for greatness, whose life is upended by one cryptic message. What begins as a quest to uncover the truth spirals into a pulse-pounding adventure that forces Max to face the dark cloud of technology overtaking his humanity – and the world as he knows it.
IN REAL LIFE is a Kevin Wong Crescendo Series production.
Co-commissioned and co-developed by Sheridan College and The Musical Stage Company with funding from the Aubrey and Marla Dan Fund for New Musicals.
Additional development support was provided by fu-GEN Theatre Company, and a showcase performance of the musical’s first act was featured in The Canadian Festival of New Musicals.
