Benjamin Scheuer: Elodie’s Mountain

ELODIE’S MOUNTAIN is a new solo show from American songwriter Benjamin Scheuer, in which Benjamin tries to figure out how to introduce his unborn daughter to his dead father.

Scheuer is the winner of a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Solo Performance, and an Off-West End Award for Best New Musical. The 2022 London revival of his show THE LION was called “a little masterpiece” (WhatsOnStage).

One of the finest songwriters of his generation, Scheuer is the recipient of the 2021 Kleban Prize for Lyrics. His work “gets to the heart of the matter” (NY Times), and he “plays guitar like he invented the instrument” (Los Angeles Times).
