The Wild Party director and co-librettist George C. Wolfe and Wild Party co-stars Tonya Pinkins and Yancey Arias have a wild party of their own at the Broadway musical's opening night shindig April 13. Composer-lyricist Michael John LaChiusa wrote the The Wild Party libretto with George C. Wolfe (who directs), drawing on the narrative poem by Joseph Moncure March, who imagined a debauched Jazz Age party populated by playboys, show folk, drinkers, gangsters and hosts Queenie (a sex-driven chorine) and Burrs (her lover and a brutal vaudeville clown). Toni Collette stars as Queenie with Mandy Patinkin as Burrs and Eartha Kitt as Dolores.
