And on the 366th Day, a once-in-every-four-years affair, spotlights the musical and lyrical prowess of Jack and BennyLipson, a.k.a. jackbenny, Los Angeles-native twin composers songsters and muti-interstrumentalists who inject the craft of musical theater into a spectrum of sonic worlds. Heralded as "a testament to their generation," their progressive and fresh harmonic language informed by classical and jazz root complements their savvy lyrics that tackle myriad contemporary social/cultural phenomena, from queer identity and consensual conduct to healthcare bureaucracy. In a comedic and colorful exhibition of provocative originals with a healthy heaping of sibling shtick, the Lipsons guide audiences on a candid tour through the delicate, well-curated millennial mind.

After years of studying, performing, and writing a wide range of music separately, Jack and Benny united to birth the award-winning project jackbenny, who shared their debut show in 2016 with musician-comedian Reggie Watts. They’ve since played their "sensational, clever, and astute" originals in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, San Diego, Sheridan, Wyoming, where they presented their ‘musicalette’ Miranda, Please! at the Wyoming Theater Festival — even in Falam, Myanmar. Jack and Benny have supported such luminaries as Idina Menzel, Josh Groban, Herbie Hancock, and Barry Manilow, and they serve as house band for both Jonnie Reinhart’s Revolver Revue and A Queer Cabaret, where they've collaborated with artists including Darren Criss and Michael Arden. The Lipsons are developing Brainstorm, a three-character song cycle of their material.
There are no events happening in the near future.
