Tony Award-nominated composer Dave Malloy has just launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund a concept recording of his latest musical, “Three Houses,” which had its world premiere at the Signature Theatre earlier this year.
“Recordings are one of the most important elements of the musical theater tradition. They are the way these shows live on forever, making them accessible to all, bringing the music to a global audience, and preserving the work of all the incredible artists involved,” Malloy wrote. “For Three Houses, we hope to go into the studio this fall to create a concept album, bringing the show’s music together in a new package that captures all of the intimate and emotional performances of the incredible original cast.”
Malloy said he plans to record the album in November and release it in January 2025.
Susan is in Latvia. Sadie is in New Mexico. Beckett is in Ireland. All three are lonely and haunted by their grandparents. All three hear the Big Bad Wolf scratching at the door. Three Houses is a fable about magic, madness, and the end of the world told at a post-pandemic open mic night.
The recording will feature the world premiere cast, including J.D. Morrison as Beckett, Mia Pak as Sadie, Margo Seibert as Susan, Henry Strahm as Grandfather, Scott Stangland as Wolf, and Chin Valdes Allan as Grandmother.
