Max Vernon, the songwriter described by the New Yorker magazine as “equal parts Bohemia and Broadway,” will extend his first-ever residency at Joe’s Pub with three additional performances. Existential Life Crisis Lullaby will play on Tuesday nights, February 26, March 19 and April 23, all at 7:00 PM. This show previews his newest work The Tattooed Lady (written with Obie Award-winning playwright Erin Courtney) alongside other previously-unheard material while offering completely different set lists and about 300 costumes, many created by Vernon himself. Featuring a cast of Broadway stars, Downtown divas and the next generation of household names, Existential Life Crisis Lullaby is a celebration of tattooed ladies, Korean pop stars, 70s queer culture, the apocalypse, sentient robots, aging club kids, homicidal hipster cults and true love.
Vernon received the Lucille Lortel Award for Best Musical, three Drama Desk Award nominations, a Jonathan Larson Grant and the Richard Rodgers Award for his musicals The View UpStairs and KPOP, both of which had extended Off-Broadway runs in 2018. He has been a Dramatist Guild Theatre Fellow, MacDowell Fellow and an artist in residence at Berkeley Rep, Ars Nova, Kimmel Center (via The Public Theater), Disney Creative Entertainment and Rhinebeck Writer’s Retreat, among others.
