Through storytelling, songs and comedy, she provides new insights into the FOMO: fear of missing out. What is holding you back from accomplishing your dreams? Big O provides some secret solutions for a renewed spirit. Create a shield, piercing through darkness and into the light. Nothing will get in the way of your dreams! Another world premiere, this marks her 5th musical at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The first show, Adventures of a Singing Acupuncturist: Olivia in Caledonia, was premiered in 2010.
Olivia Rhee has been writing one-woman shows since studying at New York University. Her professional debut, Who Knows? An Emotional Journey through the Eyes of I was well received by NY audiences in 2000. And in her touching Cabaret performance, New York Times: The Best and the Worst of It, before leaving New York in 2002, she brought her audience to happy tears… Now a working Acupuncturist in Las Vegas, Nevada (USA), she is excited to be performing her 5th new musical at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Edinburgh this year in August. Thanks goes to the Laughing Horse Free Festival, creative director, Alex Petty.
Barry Lamm (Director) originally hails from Nebraska, where he utilized his degree in theater and communications as a teacher and active member of the Omaha community and professional theater scene. He has lived in New York City for the past 15 years and now works as a professional development, training and process coordinator for an online software company. Barry is proud to be working with Ms. Rhee again after directing her in New York in her production of “Who Knows?” and in past 4 festival productions.
