"not just a Greek-sized tragedy of one man's con. It's a satirical indictment of an entire generation. Fyre Fest The Musical. It's about as wrong as a bad idea can go."
"When Bryan Buckley told me he wanted to make a musical about the Fyre Festival, I said, 'Who the hell is Bryan Buckley?' I then remembered we've been friends and work mates for 15 years so it was kinda hard to say no. Honestly, I think the idea is exciting, weird, and potentially disastrous, which seems apt and is how I like to work. I can't wait to get started and snatch me some of that sweet American theatre money."
Fyre Fest The Musical will dramatize Billy McFarland's life and the failed 2017 festival that resulted in his conviction for fraud. The production is produced by Taika Waititi and Rita Ora and described as a satirical indictment of a generation. Bryan Buckley will direct and write the book, Paul Epworth will provide music, and David Korins will design the set. The Fyre Fest brand was sold recently for $245,300. No production timeline or Broadway plans have been announced. Creators describe the project as exciting, weird, and potentially disastrous.
