Who was Hunter S. Thompson? He changed journalism. He defined counterculture. Equal parts philosopher, clown and genius, he was armed and dangerous with a typewriter as his preferred weapon. Set to an anarchic and tuneful score, this world-premiere musical is a rock 'n' roll thrill-ride into the life of an artist seeking greatness and coming to terms with his own legacy. THE UNTITLED UNAUTHORIZED HUNTER S. THOMPSON MUSICAL is on stage now at La Jolla Playhouse through October 8: tickets start at just $25 at lajollaplayhouse.org.
