Have you ever wanted to see the future… in a piece of cheese? Come experience Tyromancy Live! An Immersive Cheese Musical. Tyromancer-turned-influencer Tiffany Curd is ready to reveal all by harnessing Spontaneous Lactose-Induced Clairvoyance (SLIC™). Cheese readings are strongest and most accurate with face-to-face interaction, and in this show, there’s room for everyone to interact! When the cheese reveals a major cosmic meltdown, it’s up to Tiffany, her trusty assistants, Zaylee and Eli, and you– yes, you– to save the universe. This wacky one-hour musical includes an actual cheese tasting with a delicious dollop of sci-fi on top.
“Our show is about harnessing the power of communal art to find joy in the most uncertain of times. And nothing brings people together quite like cheese,” comments Briana Harris (Bookwriter/Lyricist)
The production stars Jamilyn Manning (Metropolitan Opera Guild, Off-Broadway: The Architecture of Becoming) as Tiffany and stars Achilles Mulkey (Off-Broadway: The Civility of Albert Cashier) as Eli. Further casting to be announced.
The production features multimedia design by Andi Lee Carter. The stage manager is Marissa DeVeau. Publicity by Katie Rosin/Kampfire PR.
Tickets are $25.00 and available at The RAT NYC. Tickets may also be purchased in-person at The RAT NYC.
