Mission to Mercury

An abandoned theater comes to life as a pair of techies are pursued by the spirits of rock glories and ballroom dances long past.

Mischievous ghosts and technical fiascos take these unlikely heroes on a Narnia-like acid trip, set to the songs of Freddy Mercury and Brian May.

Directed by Dan Rothenberg

Reviews

“All together, they give a concert as eternal as a Greek tragedy and as original as the best of Pig Iron's work…”

— Philadelphia Weekly
“I was once again amazed by Pig Iron's ability to choreograph chaos, to reshape reality with imagination and an apparently endless supply of talent.”

— Philadelphia Inquirer
“Mission to Mercury is filled with tiny moments of achingly detailed grace, lovely surprises that leave us gasping in wonder even as we fall in love with the show's sad-sack heroes.”

— Philadelphia City Paper
