The Tuneabomber
Set at a parole board hearing, Ted Kaczynski (aka The Unabomber) recounts his life through song in the hope of proving that he never wanted to be a monster, he only wanted to be a star. While he may have spent years sending explosives, this is one performance Ted can’t bomb.
Written and performed by John Lampe and Michael Wysong, this new musical comedy dares to ask the question no one needed an answer to: What if this notorious eco-terrorist was the next Bob Fosse?
Michael Wysong is a Manhattan-based musical theatre composer and lyricist who was described by Cabaret Scenes as “a wry and clever songwriter and political satirist in the tradition of Tom Lehrer…a major talent to be kept track of.” His work has been performed at cabaret venues and theatres throughout New York City, including the Triad Theatre and Feinstein’s/54 Below. Recent credits include new music for a production of Marat/Sade, music and sound design for Macbeth (New York Shakespeare Company), and music and sound design for Aunt Jack (Theater for the New City). He also wrote the book and lyrics for a new adaptation of The Revenger’s Tragedy, music and lyrics for the song cycle Love is…, and contributed a song to CHANGEMAKERS with Tony Nominated lyricist Bill Russell for their shared alma mater, The University of Kansas.
John Lampe is a director, writer, and performer. His work has been seen across the US and in Europe. In New York, he has worked with companies such as Urban Stages, New Circle Theatre, Frog and Peach Theatre, and ANDTheatre, where he served as Artistic Director. His two man musical comedy “The TUNEabomber” plays monthly in New York at The Reverie Room. Keep in touch at
