Experience a musical parody of King size proportions! During the Misery of a blizzard, five people are drawn to the Shining lights of the Overlook Hotel. The group includes Jack: the hotel’s new caretaker, Wendy: his unhappy wife, Danny: their clairvoyant son, Annie: a quick to anger nurse, and Paul: the mysterious unconscious man she drags up to room 217. As the storm grows so do the mysteries of the hotel and the new guests sing and vocalize while hacking an onslaught of visitors — human, animal, and supernatural. Will this group be able to harmonize through IT, take a Stand, or fade into The Mist?

Part of the World Premiere Wisconsin theatre festival.

Please note: The Thursday, February 23 show is a preview performance.

Are you a Stephen King fan?

Think you know more than ANYONE else about all things King? Let’s see! Capital City Theatre will be doing a post-show Stephen King trivia contest after the Sunday, February 26th matinee in the Playhouse at Overture Center directly following the show. Two teams will be chosen from the audience to match wits with each other and find out who will be crowned “The King Masters!”. The winning team will win some cool CCT prizes!
