"What makes a story – is it the ending? The beginning? Or something else?"
Fred Ebb Award winner, Julia Riew (AB '22), returns to Joe's Pub with a concert performance of ENDLESS, “Howl’s Moving Castle meets Stardust and A Court of Thorns and Roses,” a new mythological musical featuring a cinematic pop score about a young star named Sun who defies the laws of the sky for love. Commissioned by The Library Company and set to premiere in Seoul, Korea, ENDLESS explores fate, mortality, and the joy of embracing the fleeting moments that make life meaningful.
