Lifted from the score to Savage’s forthcoming musical theatre production Please Thrill Me.
Canadian musician Sean Nicholas Savage has shared a new song.
Serving as the leading track from the score of Savage’s forthcoming musical theatre production Please Thrill Me, ‘Thrill Me’ pairs the crooner’s raw, emotive vocals with a sparse compositional bed of warbled piano and cinematic string movements.
The new project is described as “a rainy coming of age story, gently lulled by dreamy and deeply emotional pop music”, with Canadian rapper Cadence Weapon and Jane Penny of TOPS among those enlisted for main roles. Read a full blurb outlining the production’s plot below.
“Two punks meet freight hopping in the middle of the night. Jazz, who is on a journey to define oneself and Pop who is returning home to the big city by the sea. In this oasis at the end of the world, they will meet a series of characters, all haunted by a symphony of indeterminable desires and by the irresistible dream of a life without limits. Each of them will open up to Jazz, philosophize thru the night, and share their most intimate fears and reflections on a world whose meaning constantly slips through their fingers.
Through its poetry ― both naïve and lucid ― Please Thrill Me gives a glimpse of a universe in which ephemeral yet inevitable friendships arise. Life has a way of detracting our plans, of making them sway with its moods, but let us not give up until the very end. The true meaning sometimes only shows up after the last call.”
Please Thrill Me screens daily between February 17th and March 1st at Montreal’s La Chapelle Scènes Contemporaines. Purchase tickets here.
