“Heist” an Interactive Jazz Comedy by The Sparrows – ONE NIGHT ONLY!
‘Heist!’, a new production by The Sparrows, is set to premiere in a strictly limited engagement from this September 2026.
Hot off their sold out Off-Broadway run, and using a jazz band, swing dance, and laser or two, The Sparrows take on the good ol’ heist movies of yore. The production is written by Brooke di Spirito and features many returning multi-talented Sparrows players. The production plays several NYC and tri-state venues, with one night on Long Island. (at The Burrow – the artist collective previously at Industry and Ninnet and George’s).
In ‘Heist!’, in order to steal a ex-lover’s Heart (not her real heart, but a heart shaped diamond worth one Belarusian Rubles), a group of rag-tag theives and their old semi-professional Capture the Flag buddies stage an elaborate heist. They just might accidentally end up stealing her real heart in the process. And losing the diamond.
Cast members Jonah O’Hara-David and Kendra Perry once again play opposite each other as the scorned lovers attempting to out-heist each other. The band, exactly four musicians and approximately twenty instruments, includes Shawn Berman, Darren Dutton, Anthony Speros, Miguel Sutedjo, with vocals by Beatrix Postley. The team is rounded out with lindy hoppers Devon Lawler and Brooke di Spirito, who also choreographed the piece. Sutedjo and Di Spirito, recent BMI Lehman-Engel Songwriting Workshop alum, have also written original music for the show.
