The Alchemists’ Duel
Broadway Cabaret’s darkest mind Returns to 54 Below… with friends
Welcome to The Alchemists’ Duel — the latest miscreation from seven-time New York indie-theater festival winner Christian De Gré Cárdenas — an evening that pits opera against musical theater in a riotous night of melody, mischief, and mayhem. Five pairs of award-winning composer/librettist teams enter the ring to conjure brand-new works sparked by freshly commissioned ideas, each fighting for glory, bragging rights, and a $5,000 prize to be donated to the charity, nonprofit, or project of their choosing.
Presided over by the delightfully damned La Muerte and their ill-made accomplice Diablito, the evening hurtles toward a glorious reckoning — when the audience decides who triumphs and who is forever damned.
Brazen. Generous. Beautiful kind of chaos — and the power, for once, is entirely in your hands.
“A creepy-carnival vibe. Simply put, it’s twisted and wonderful.” – Time Out New York
