Poet. Recluse. Icon. This is not your English teacher's Emily Dickinson. Emily F-cking Dickinson: America's Favorite Recluse is an original solo musical—book, music, lyrics, and performance by Shelley Cooper—a feral, funny, and fiercely musical dive into the mind of a woman who refused to play by anyone's rules. Featuring a score of original songs inspired by Dickinson's poetry and spirit, the show is intimate, manic, a little unhinged, and unexpectedly hilarious. Hailed by Stage Takes as a "tour-de-force performance" with a range that is "astonishing," and by NoHo Arts District as "a riot of music and laughter," Cooper's production is part concert, part confession, part rebellion—and one wild night you definitely didn't read about in class.
