Empire Records: The Musical

Princeton’s McCarter Theatre Center will soon premiere Empire Records, a new musical based on the ‘90s cult classic film. Princeton native Zoe Sarnak, who wrote the music and lyrics for this live production, returns home with original film screenwriter Carol Heikkinen to provide an inside look into the rebirth of a not-so-bygone era of music and memory. Produced by Tom Miller for State of the Arts. Videography and editing by Dave Tavani. Rehearsal and production footage courtesy McCarter Theatre Center. Special thanks to the creative team and staff at McCarter Theatre, the staff at Princeton Record Exchange, and New Regency Productions.
