INFAMOUS THE MUSICAL
Is an original work by playwright David Owen Michaels.
This work explores the historical events that led to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln through the eyes of his assassin, John Wilkes Booth, and the persecution that gripped the nation for the 12 days that immediately followed. Michaels uses a wide range in his musical composition, along with beautifully crafted lyrics that really encapsulate the feel of the time. This work is already available for readings, workshops and productions. If you are interested in putting on an “infamous” production or exploring its possibilities, please contact Mr. Michaels through our contact page.

LIVE THE STORY
LIVE THE STORY
INFAMOUS is a new musical conceived for the theater stage.
We are looking for a community of followers who, like us, are theater lovers and want to spread the word so INFAMOUS can reach its destined heights.
A story that spans American history in this way is worth interpreting and reliving in this divisive time. The death of Abraham Lincoln from the perspective of his murderer, John Wilkes Booth, and the introspective examination of these two polarizing figures are sure to leave audiences stunned with emotion.
