Andrew Lippa's Wild Party
A steamy prohibition tale, steamrolling and roaring its way across the stage, Andrew Lippa's Wild Party was an Off-Broadway gem that garnered an array of industry accolades, including Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Obie awards. Based on Joseph Moncure March's 1928 narrative poem of the same name, this darkly brilliant show features one of the most exciting, pulse-racing scores ever written.
Lovers Queenie and Burrs decide to throw the party-to-end-all-parties in their Manhattan apartment. After the colorful arrival of a slew of guests living life on the edge, Queenie's wandering eyes land on a striking man named Black. As the decadence is reaching a climax, so is Burrs' jealousy, which erupts and sends him into a violent rage. Gun in hand and inhibitions abandoned, Burrs turns on Queenie and Black. The gun gets fired, but who's been shot?
Andrew Lippa's Wild Party is a favorite of universities and theatre companies that like to push the envelope. Creative potential leaps from its pages. If staged in an intimate space, the audience might feel as if they're party guests, themselves!

Questions & Answers
International release
Do we know when this title will be available for international release? I've applied and inquired various times over the past numerous years and am told it's restricted but no indication as to when it will be available for use outside of the continental USA.
Again: Trigger Sequence in Raise the Roof dance, is obviously rhythmic sequenced drums, as slightly indicated in the Piano Conductor, but since there is no Keyboard Solutions for Wild Party, and the sequence is not in the key2 nor drums, how to create?
What does Trigger Sequence mean?
