“The Schmidt Sisters: A Revolutionary Situation” EP Release Concert

Chelsea Table and Stage will present “The Schmidt Sisters: A Revolutionary Situation” EP Release Concert written by Margo Hera (lyrics) and Ashlynn Pilger (music), music directed by Analise Levesque. The concert will take place August 13th 7pm at Chelsea Table and Stage.

Come celebrate the release of the EP for The Schmidt Sisters: A Revolutionary Situation, a new historical megamusical based on a true story lost to history— until now! Be the first to hear these six new tracks live and in concert with a full band before they hit streaming services. Follow two sisters in turn of the 20th century Russia after they are bestowed with a lofty inheritance from their Bolshevik brother and roped into a scheme by Vladimir Lenin. He wants that money for the Bolshevik party, so he sends two comrades to woo the women and marry them to secure the funds. One couple is diametrically opposed while the other falls so in love they are blinded to the revolution unfolding around them. This show has everything: Fake marriage! Queer love! A play-within-a-play! Revolution! Blood! Murder! Beer! Come see what audiences have described as, “Super entertaining,” “A fun time, good music, great laughs,” “Very refreshing,” and “You ATE THAT!!”
