Brother Russia

A world premiere rock musical from the award-winning creators of THE FIX and THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK. In a desolate potato field north of Omsk, a comically fourth-rate Russian theater troupe sets up its tents and wows the local farmers with rock-fueled adaptations of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky. Tonight, however, the company tosses classic literature aside to showcase the life story of their impresario and star, the seemingly immortal Brother Russia -- more commonly known as Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin. Yes, THAT Rasputin: the hypnotic mystic who seduced and ruled the Tsar and Tsarina in the waning days of Imperial Russia.
