The new EP The Queen of Magic, the new musical written by Neyla Pekarek – the singer/songwriter formerly of The Lumineers – is out now. Listen here!

The Queen of Magic features five tunes from her new musical, which paints the picture of magician Adelaide Herrmann, who made a name for herself in a male-dominated art form. The story is told by way of big, earnest vocals, lush strings, intricate piano lines, and a rock band, bringing this vintage vibe into the 21st century. The EP is produced by Loren Dorland.

Today Friday, May 22, Pekarek will celebrate the EP with a special “Vaudevillian Extravaganza” at Denver’s Oriental Theater, featuring curiosities and amusements from special guests “Maven of Magic” Erica Sodos, barbershop quartet Sunday Night Social, “Mistress of Hoops” Kenzey Simper, and “Enchantress of Dance” Memento Mori. Many surprises await this evening of unmatched spectacle. Tickets are available HERE .

The Queen of Magic is the untold story of Adelaide Hermann, world famous magician, artistic visionary, and fierce businesswoman. A contemporary of magical greats such as Harry Houdini , Adelaide not only excelled in her field, she reshaped it entirely, taking the old 19th century magic show standard and creating the theatrical spectacle we know and love today. Adelaide’s legacy lives on for the next generation of magic lovers and makers in this heart-warming, humorous, and at times harrowing musical tale.

The Queen of Magic features music and lyrics by Pekarek, with additional writing by Gabrielle Mirabella on the tracks “Get to Work” and “Feed the Flame.” The EP features guest vocalists Brian Cronan (“Dream with Me”) and Mary-Kate Morrissey of Broadway’s Wicked f(“Never Enough”). The vocal choir features Jadyn Diaz, Siobhan Drown, Ashley Wiggington, Bailey Hinkley-Grogan, and Heather Wiegert.
