‘Tis the season.  Deal with it.  Come take a hip trip to Striking 12, the refreshingly alternative holiday rock musical that describes itself as “a holiday show for people who don’t like holiday shows.”  With an innovative team of creators that include Tony Award-winner Rachel Sheinkin (The 25th…Spelling Bee) and the celebrated pop-rock band GrooveLily, Striking 12 is a unique hybrid of musical theatre and live concert.  It tells the story of a grumpy, overworked New Yorker who resolves to spend New Year’s Eve alone in his apartment when an unexpected visitor brings some much-needed cheer.  The evening springs to life through an eclectic GrooveLily score that combines pop, rock, jazz, showtunes and more with a healthy dose of 21st-century skepticism and old-fashioned-uplift.  Alan Patrick Kenny leads a cast of actor-musicians in NSC’s regional premiere of this sell-out Off-Broadway hit.

“Thoroughly winning!  More artfully crafted and engaging than virtually all the standard-mold musicals these days.  Alive with wit and humor.”

-The New York Times

“As much rock concert as theatre.  The harmonies induce chills!”
