This moving and unconventional song cycle bursts with originality as it examines human connection. Come explore how young adults search for community based on shared experiences, from the hilarious to the heartbreaking. Take a physics manual, blend it with the sound of The Book of Mormon, the hilariously nerdy references of The Big Bang Theory, a sprinkle of Chicago, few drops of Glee, bake it in a Broadway bowl, use all the originality you can have... That’s the successful recipe for the spectacular song cycle, The Theory of Relativity.
