TURING the Musical

DePaul University’s Blue Demon Theatre will present the world premiere of “TURING,” a groundbreaking new musical by emerging writers Timothy L. Michuda and Benjamin Ward. The production will run from August 16-18 at the Greenhouse Theater Center in Chicago.

TURING delves into the true story of Alan Turing, the brilliant mathematician whose efforts in cracking the Enigma code during World War II played a pivotal role in saving millions of lives. Michuda and Ward take the composition of this story to a new level, showing us a journey through three parallel timelines. Thus revealing the layers of Turing’s boyhood, collegiate years, and young adult life.

We follow Turing through a series of trials, underscored by his emerging identity as a gay man. Alan Turing begins as a lonely young boy, turning to mathematics for comfort. As he matures, his depth and natural intelligence become clear. The dramatic score blends contemporary musical theater with orchestral, jazz, and electronic elements, bringing Turing’s story to life, capturing his internal psyche, and captivating audiences.
