Emojiland
Emojiland is a pop musical written by Keith Harrison Dworkin and Laura Schein. It premiered off-Broadway on January 19, 2020, at the Duke on 42nd Street. It centers around a group of emojis living in the world of a smartphone on the eve of a software update. Background "Not to be confused with, and very much unlike ''The Emoji Movie'', Emojiland is an electric ensemble piece about a diverse community of archetypes who take one another at face value: a smiling face dealing with depression; a princess who doesn’t want a prince; a skull dying for deletion; a nerd face too smart for his own good; a face with sunglasses who can’t see past his own reflection; and a police officer and construction worker who just want to work together.

Productions ''Emojiland'' was first performed live in concert ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
