A New Musical based on Gogol’s Government Inspector

Book by Kronis & Alger
Directed by Tina Kronis
Music by Wes Myers
TMB has built it’s repertoire re-imagining classic texts with its unique mixture of text, movement, and dance. Over the past several shows, TMB co-founders, Kronis + Alger, have been collaborating with composer Wes Myers to add songs to their interdisciplinary productions, taking advantage of the many skills of its ensemble members and expanding the company’s unique approach to storytelling. We are thrilled to be now offering audiences the inaugural run of our first full musical, TINY LITTLE TOWN.

“What drew me to this play was reading Gogol’s unfinished novel, Dead Souls and his Nevsky Prospect short stories. I became a huge fan of his nightmarish, yet hilarious upside-down world. What sold me on this play for adaptation was Gogol’s epigraph for the Inspector General:
‘If your face is crooked, don’t blame the mirror.’ ”

— Tina Kronis, Artistic Director, TMB

Gogol said of his play’s good natured rogues that the only positive character is LAUGHTER. TINY LITTLE TOWN embraces the laughter. With biting wit, beautiful songs, and high octane physicality.
