This meet & greet coincides with the Regional Theatre Premiere of ATOMIC at Meadow Brook Theatre February 10-March 6, 2016. This production is a high-energy musical that throws open the doors on a pivotal moment in history – the creation of the atom bomb.

Written by Danny Ginges with music by Philip Foxman and directed by Travis Walter. Leo Szilard is torn between the woman he loves and the desperate need to maintain secrecy and beat Germany to the bomb. The creators of ATOMIC promise it will surprise and delight audiences as its high-energy original score perfectly complements this extraordinary story of love, faith and the bomb.

“New musicals are vital and absolutely necessary, and Meadow Brook Theatre is a great place to stage this production. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll want to get up and dance. The set will amaze you. The story will astound you, and the theatrics will knock you to the floor,” said Walter. “This is a big-show; it will blow the roof off.”

Ginges, Foxman and Walter will lead an exclusive discussion and question and answer session with Lelli’s luncheon attendees. “This is going to be a very cool event,” said Walter. “I can’t wait.”
