2022 folk musical
The Regulars is a folk musical with music, lyrics, and book by Will Shishmanian. It follows the story of Mark Howard, a trans man who has just moved away from his childhood home to a rural, upstate town, where he befriends Dani Thompson, a Black queer woman who's opening her own gay bar. The production is developed and directed by Miss Hazel Jade.
Development.
While Shishmanian began developing the original version of the musical sometime in 2017–2018, it wasn't until October 2020 during the height of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic when he asked his friend and once-collaborator, Miss Hazel Jade, to take a look at the material that the two began to rework it as a commercial musical. She immediately joined, and some of the material from the new version of the musical, developed and directed by Miss Hazel, was presented live in concert at Hope Mill Theatre in Manchester, England, during their annual Turn On Fest.
Ahead of the Manchester concert, and along with a digital single, a music video was released through WhatsOnStage and Playbill, featuring Broadway &amp; film/TV Actor, Laura Benanti, and the musical's composer, Will Shish.
