The new musical (which originally premiered as a touring production for The Know Theatre of Cincinnati in 2021, after wild success in their Serials! program in 2017) has been fully reimagined for the Carnegie main stage. ALL’S FAIRE is a musical comedy that tells the story of Johnson, a tightly wound private eye, who has been invited to solve a crime at the local Renaissance festival. With their trusty (and highly distractible) sidekick Josh, surely this will be an open and shut case…or will it? With pirates, fair maidens, puppets, and tomfoolery, it soon becomes clear to Johnson that anything goes at Ye Olde Ren Faire. This might be a tougher case to crack than they thought.
