An unprecedented musical experience, the show will combine the magic of theatre, the mystical beauty of traditional dances, the soul-stirring realm of poetry – and more. Travel the globe through 16 countries, represented by a dazzling array of ancient and modern music styles, songs sung in many languages, vibrant choreography across the cultures, and of course, a diverse star-filled cast."

Fellowship! the Musical Parody of The Fellowship of the Ring won 2005 Musical of the Year, and Best Comedy Ensemble at the L.A. Weekly Awards. Most recently Fellowship! won a 2010 Saturn Award and won Best Ensemble at the 2010 New York Musical Theatre Festival. The 2005 and 2009 productions of Fellowship! were recognized by many papers in the L.A. area with such honors as Critic's Pick, Best Bet, and Pick of the Week.
In this Broadway style musical, Tolkien fans will see all their favorite characters from The Fellowship of The Ring with one big change - they're funny. This hilarious send-up features twelve original songs, from the over-the-top opening number with barefooted tap-dancing Hobbits, to an elf-on-human 80's power ballad with a live guitar solo performed by the rightful heir of Gondor. In another song, the Balrog (a terrifying creature of shadow and flame) performs a sequin-studded New York style cabaret number.
The cast is made up of the world's best improvisers who take on multiple roles to play all the characters and creatures in the story. Director Joel McCrary has used the improv skills of each actor to develop their characters, giving the show a spontaneous feel. The original cast also had a hand in writing their own songs, working with composer/music director Allen Simpson and writers McCrary and Kelly Holden-Bashar.
