WAIT WAIT DON’T KILL ME

Book by Dave Holstein
Music & Lyrics by Alan Schmuckler

A musical exploration of our obsession with murder as entertainment, Wait Wait Don’t Kill Me is a darkly comedic new musical satire inspired by the events surrounding the making of NPR’s Serial podcast. Moving seamlessly between the 1998 timeline of the murder and the present day investigation, Wait Wait Don’t Kill Me shines new, musical light on the making of the world’s most successful podcast and, in doing so, tackles and satirizes much larger questions about America’s relationship to the media.
