New Musical! Absolute Zero starring Jenn Colella
September 29, 2025
Absolute Zero is a sharp, stylish musical thriller starring Tony Award® nominee Jenn Colella (Suffs, Come From Away, If/Then) as Sam Knight, the CIA’s top agent—and a legendary heartbreaker—who’s racing to stop a terrorist plot that has finally reached the impossible: absolute zero, the coldest temperature known to humanity. But saving the world means confronting her own past, all while her eager rookie assistant Edith keeps her (mostly) in line. With a sizzling pop-rock and jazz score and a cast of all female and gender non-conforming performers, Absolute Zero is a high-stakes adventure that’s as funny as it is fierce.
