WAAPA proudly presents the Australian premiere performance of Renascence, with music by our very own alum Carmel Dean (music director for If/Then and American Idiot on Broadway). This award-winning musical follows the early years of the radical Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, using the artist’s poetry as lyrics. At 19, Millay wrote a profoundly powerful poem, Renascence, that catapulted her from her humble, rural beginnings into a wildly bohemian, celebrity lifestyle. Named Best New Musical at the 2018 Off-Broadway Alliance Awards, this
is a theatrical exploration of identity and artistry.

"Carmel Dean’s melodies make the poem soar." – The New York Times
