Tycho Freakin' Brahe!

Book by Heather Madill
Music and Lyrics by Joseph Aragon

 

RMTC John Hirsh Mainstage, 140 Rupert Ave. (@ Lily St.)

Inspired by online science videos half-remembered through an alcoholic haze, the creators of Bloodsuckers (★★★★ - Winnipeg Free Press) and other hit Fringe favourites bring you the outrageous musical tale of Tycho Brahe, the notorious golden-nosed astronomer of the Holy Roman Empire! Follow Tycho as he parties like it’s 1599, with duels, wild benders, and a very intoxicated moose (or elk; scholars are undecided). His hapless assistant, Johannes Kepler, needs his boss’s precious star data to prove his own cosmic theories, and enlists Tycho’s sister Sophie and court jester Jepp to help rein him in. Can they tame Tycho’s wild ways, or will his profligacy be his undoing? The stakes are astronomical!
