Michael John LaChiusa’s Hello Again is based on the 1897 play La Ronde by Arthur Schnitzler. It focuses on a series of love affairs among 10 characters during the 10 different decades of the 20th century. LaChuisa’s musical adaptation follows the structure of Schnitzler’s original material closely, often replicating fragments of his dialogue, detailing a daisy chain of sexual encounters and love affairs. Unlike the book, each scene is set in a different decade of the 20th century and in non-chronological order, allowing for a large and varied pastiche of musical styles ranging from opera to 1970s disco. Hello Again was originally produced off-Broadway (at Lincoln Center) in 1993.

Hello Again opens on Friday, May 5 at 8pm. The regular performance schedule is Friday and Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 7pm through May 28. Tickets are $30 and may be purchased online atwww.crtheatre.com or by telephone at 323-205-1617. Chromolume Theatre at the Attic is located at 5429 W.
