A new musical inspired, in part, by the Higgs boson and the discovery of the so-called God Particle is heading to Broadway, with David Henry Hwang and Suffsdirector Leigh Silverman as part of the creative team.
The musical Particle Fever is in the early stage of development. A production timeline and casting details have not been disclosed.
Based on the 2013 documentary film of the same name, Particle Fever will feature a book by Hwang (M. Butterfly, Yellow Face) with music and lyrics by Bear McCreary (TV’s Battlestar Galactica, the film Godzilla: King of the Monsters) and composer/lyricist Zoe Sarnak. Director Silverman was Tony-nominated this year for Suffs and will direct this season’s Yellow Face, also Hwang.
