The Road to the World Premiere Part II
Who could forget one of Transport Group’s most recent collaborations with Michael John in the revival Hello Again? Transport Group revived one of Michael John’s most well-known and incredible piece of works in March 2011. This provocative production was staged non-traditionally in a SoHo space, surrounded by tables for the audience to sit at, with the action taking place around them.

Hello Again showcases 10 powerful love affairs through the 20th Century with each decade represented. The ensemble-driven piece dips into the different kinds of love and passion that can exist ranging from a College Boy’s affair, to a provocative Nurse and Soldier, and a loveless marriage between a Husband and Young Wife. Hello Again is musical that offers different styles of music for each decade represented including jazz, opera, and even disco.

Don’t take our word for it though. Here are some thoughts from past reviews on Transport Group’s revival:
“For the people in Hello Again, it’s not the finding that drives them, it’s the passionate searching that temporarily fires up their encounters.” – Andy Buck (TheaterMania)
“With their numerous environmental, site-specific and/or non-traditionally staged productions, The Transport Group regularly explores the question of ‘How close is too close?’” – David Gordon (NYTheatre.com)
“Jack Cummings III’s intensely immersive Transport Group revival brings Hello Again back to the flesh with impressive stylishness and imagination.” – Adam Feldman (TimeOut)
“Michael John LaChiusa’s “Hello Again” is a captivatingly complex musical study of carnal knowledge. And once again the Transport Group cuts right to the bone with its acute staging.” – Roma Torre (NY1)
“Musical director Chris Habert and music supervisor Chris Fenwick deserve special praise for the cast’s confident singing and expert meshing of acting and song.” - Erik Haagensen (Backstage)
“Collectively, this ensemble dives head first into LaChiusa’s haunting score, performing it with a fearless gusto and passion..” – David Gordon (NYTheatre.com)

Director Jack Cummings III and Michael John LaChiusa are currently cooking up their latest world-premiere production Queen of the Mist which began as an idea shared between them both.
