A Tale of Trains and Time Travel

I was riding the subway a few weeks ago with a friend when this poster caught my eye. Apparently, it’s a rock musical with time travel, trains, and bears. How could I not immediately decide to see it with no other information? The last play I saw was near the beginning of the year, and that was also inspired by a random subway poster for something I wasn’t previously aware of, but this new one, “Ghost Quartet”, also intrigued my brother enough to convince him to come along. And we had a time! Light on plot perhaps? But heavy on ambience. And some banging songs too. I really liked the one where the protagonist rattled off a list of different types of dead creatures and stated the one she’d like to be was a singing ghost.

Bonus Question!

What dead creature would you be?

Vampire’s the obvious choice. My brother went with mummy, and I could make that work too.
