The Musical
A Healthy Marriage: The Hall-Mills Murders is a new musical from New Brunswick-native David Seamon (The Eleventh Hour!) with direction from Dan Swern (Drama Desk-nominated, Shake & Bake: Love’s Labour’s Lost).
The Hall-Mills murder case is an unsolved double-homicide that has haunted dinner table discussion in New Brunswick since 1922. An extra-marital affair between a church minister and choir singer ended in a gruesome tragedy and became the hottest tabloid story of the decade. Its story of power and hypocrisy, love and lust, resonates as much today as it did 100 years ago. Seamon’s new musical is intimate, funny, heartfelt, and insightful. Join us for a special one night only concert performance.
