Eugene Onegin—A Bluegrass Musical by Sarah Gancher (creator of the Obie Award-winning Russian Troll Farm) is a potent mix of original bluegrass and country, barbeque, and feverish young love. Pushkin's novel and Tchaikovsky's opera have been completely reimagined, now set in 1940s rural Arkansas, where a girl who dreams of writing songs falls for a dangerously magnetic—but jaded—touring musician.
