Complications in Sue

Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning playwright Michael R. Jackson (A Strange Loop) makes his operatic debut with an original libretto that brings his “provocative mix of high-mindedness and low satire” (The New York Times) to a new scale. Starring cabaret icon and MacArthur Genius Justin Vivian Bond, Complications in Sue pieces together one woman’s existence across ten decades, each scored by a different composer. Directors Zack Winokur and Raja Feather Kelly bring Sue, and the myriad characters who surround her, to life under the baton of Caren Levine, while Jonathan Anderson, the creative force behind Dior and JW Anderson, dresses her through life and death. Complications ensue this February.
