"One of those rare experiences that will stay with you long after you've seen the show"
- Ron Baumanis, A2View
Fairbanks
Bus 142
Music & Lyrics by NIKO TSAKALAKOS
Book & Lyrics by JANET ALLARD
Fairbanks Bus 142 follows the iconic story of Christopher McCandless, a.k.a. Alexander Supertramp, who after graduating from college, abandons his car, burns all his money, defies his parents’ wishes, and sets off on a great Alaskan Odyssey. Adversity is exactly what he is seeking, and what he finds. Integrating multimedia elements from his own photographs, journal entries and letters, this new folk-rock musical pays tribute to McCandless’ complicated but ultimately transcendent story. His admirable quest for truth and purpose in life and understanding speaks to the restless spirit in everyone.

“ Achingly beautiful melodies and harmonies.”
“ Made me want to run out and buy a cast recording.”
“ A show that deserves a studio recording as soon as possible – get it out there, let people listen to it in their cars and on their iPhones, and sing along at top voice – it is that kind of score.”
“ A soulful tragedy brought to astonishing light.”
“ Lush and gorgeous.”
