Boogie on the Bones
Date
Sun 12 - Sun 26 Oct 2025
Moscow, 1956. In Stalin’s grey world, a group of young rebels called stilyagi dare to wear bright clothes and dance to American jazz. Bob, a medical student, smuggles Western music by carving grooves into X-ray films - literally “boogie on the bones.” When Komsomol officer Mels falls for the mysterious Polly during a police raid, he must choose between duty and desire, safety and self-expression.
This electrifying new musical follows Mels’s transformation from loyal party member to passionate jazz musician, guided by Bob’s darkly comic wisdom and the charismatic Fred, who carries a devastating secret from his trip to America.
Inspired by real events Boogie on the Bones is a story of love, music, and the price of freedom. With echoes of Cabaret and the energy of West Side Story, this intimate chamber musical asks: what would you risk to be yourself?
