When rock bottom hits, washed-up producer DOC makes one last gamble: change the sound, change the voice, change the game. He drops the track, and the result? It blows up. Suddenly, the world wants to know: Who is Mona Loser?
Inspired by Mary Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein’ and set to a slick, high-energy pop score, this sharp, satirical musical follows an unsuspecting girl as she’s pushed into the spotlight to play the part of a viral sensation. But as the spotlight gets hotter and DOC lurks just out of frame, the question is: how high can Mona climb—and how far can she fall?
Mona Loser is a brand-new musical about fame, fakery, and the monster you didn’t mean to make. A Workshop Presentation
