Royalty, peasantry, sex, dirt, grandeur and hemophilia.

February 3 – March 5, 2017
St. John’s Lutheran Church | 155 Milton St, Brooklyn

Beardo is a Russian indie rock musical from the outrageous minds that brought us Beowulf – A Thousand Years of Baggage and Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812. This New York premiere explodes the mad inner workings of Rasputin, the infamous mystic who sexed his way to the fall of the Russian monarchy.

Join Pipeline this February and catapult through the mysterious ascent of one of the most peculiar and seductive figures in modern history.

“Beardo is a louche, lewd and assertively weird fantasia on the life of Rasputin. Dave Malloy’s score is enjoyably eclectic, borrowing from disco, jazz, rock and folk…” – The New York Times

“Beardo is near brilliant, played with pitch-perfect timing by the cast, particularly Damon Daunno, in a star-making turn… It is pure pleasure.”- The Daily Beast

“…an unforgettable theatrical experience. Malloy employs an eclectic mix of styles for a score that is both tuneful and daring resulting in stunning vocal performances throughout and the most breathtaking first act finale this side of Les Miserables.” – TheaterMania
