- Adam Bashian, Kim Blanck and rest of the original cast of Dave Malloy's Octet, directed by Annie Tippe, perform "Solo" at New York City's Signature Theatre.
Three-time Tony Award-nominee Dave Malloy (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) begins his Residency 5 as Signature’s first musical theatre writer with the world premiere musical Octet, directed by Annie Tippe (Ghost Quartet). Featuring a score for an a cappella chamber choir and an original libretto inspired by internet comment boards, scientific debates, religious texts, and Sufi poetry, Octet explores addiction and nihilism within the messy context of 21st century technology.

Signature Theatre celebrates playwrights and gives them an artistic home. Signature makes an extended commitment to a playwright’s body of work, producing several plays by each resident writer and delivering an intimate and immersive journey into the playwright’s singular vision. In 2014 Signature became the first New York City company to receive the Regional Theater Tony Award®.
Led by Artistic Director Paige Evans and Executive Director Harold Wolpert, Signature serves its mission at The Pershing Square Signature Center. This three-theatre facility located on West 42nd Street was designed by Frank Gehry Architects to host Signature’s three distinct playwrights’ residencies and foster a cultural community.
At the Center, Signature continues its original Playwright-in-Residence model as Residency 1, a year-long intensive exploration of a single writer’s body of work. Residency 5, the only program of its kind, was launched at the Center to support multiple playwrights as they build bodies of work by guaranteeing each writer three productions over a five-year period. The Legacy Program, launched during Signature’s 10th Anniversary, invites writers from both residencies back for productions of premiere or earlier plays.
Through the Signature Ticket Initiative: A Generation of Access, Signature has also made an unprecedented commitment to making its productions accessible by underwriting the cost of the initial run tickets through 2031.
Founded in 1991 by James Houghton, Signature has presented entire seasons of the work of Edward Albee, Lee Blessing, Horton Foote, María Irene Fornés, Athol Fugard, Stephen Adly Guirgis, John Guare, A.R. Gurney, David Henry Hwang, Bill Irwin, Adrienne Kennedy, Tony Kushner, Romulus Linney, Charles Mee, Arthur Miller, Suzan-Lori Parks, Sam Shepard, Paula Vogel, Naomi Wallace, August Wilson, Lanford Wilson and a season celebrating the historic Negro Ensemble Company. Lynn Nottage is the current Residency 1 playwright. Signature’s Residency 5 playwrights are Annie Baker, Martha Clarke, Katori Hall, Quiara Alegría Hudes, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Kenneth Lonergan, Dave Malloy, Dominique Morisseau; Will Eno completed his Residency Five in 2016. Signature’s productions and its resident writers have been recognized with the Pulitzer Prize, Lucille Lortel, Obie, Drama Desk and AUDELCO awards, among many other distinctions.

Especially on songs like this I get why this would sound weird, but ESPECIALLY ON SONGS LIKE THIS I think it's important to get a version of this show accessible to high schoolers. They're already going through a lot of the shit online that people in our 20s and 30s have been going through for decades, and nothing about it is going to be easy, especially so if they don't see "yes, we have perspective on this. it's not just you feeling crazy."
Hard agree!!
"I could be so good at love" makes my heart hurt. And paired with that melody line? OOF.
I just realized I saw her on Suffs last week, after seeing this small clip for hundreds of times!!
thank you for hooking us up with these clips signature theatre😤😤
This was so good live, but it’s also great seeing their expressions more closely! “Solo” was in my top two with “Monster”. I can’t wait for the cast recording (I’m backer #5)!
This will be on repeat for the foreseeable future
ahhh, thank you for the clips
This is the song I am most excited to listen to again because with Malloy you can't just listen once
this is so beautiful i just. want to be able to see it
Omg it’s so good
My first reaction was "uh... Are they gonna sing this nine minute long song as fast as they can or what?"
What is this musical about??
It's about a lot but the premise is that it's a support group for people who deal with internet addiction and how that's impacted their lives.
Sultana Qureshi i’ve listened to the podcast on spotify, this looks very interesting!
The album has been released if you’re still interested!
