8 performers, piano (small ensemble)
Duration: c. 120'
Suburb takes an insightful, witty, and nuanced view of the world of the lawnmower, the barbecue, and the mall, exploring the suburb’s rites and rituals with a four-person chorus (expandable to eight) and four main characters. The stories of these four people-interwoven with the chorus’s frequent musical reveries on subjects like mowing the lawn, the mall, and the perfection of perfectly grilled meat-form the road map of Suburb.
