Spies Are Forever is an original musical by the comedy troupe Tin Can Brothers (Corey Lubowich, Joey Richter, and Brian Rosenthal) and features music and lyrics by TalkFine (Clark Baxtresser and Pierce Siebers). Tin Can Brothers wrote the book and produced the musical, with Lubowich taking on the role of director and Richter and Rosenthal both playing starring roles in the show.[1] The musical is set in the 1960s, and is a parody of the spy film genre. It is the Tin Can Brothers' first scripted project.
The musical was performed between March 11 and April 3, 2016, in Los Angeles, California. Digital tickets were made available through the musical's Kickstarter campaign, allowing backers to watch a recording of the show while it was still in its initial run. The musical was uploaded to YouTube in weekly episodes, which began with a two episode premiere on June 21, 2016. A cast recording was released earlier the same day.[2]
The Spies Are Forever cast reunited in June 2016 to perform as part of StarKid Productions' summer season. They performed a staged concert featuring scenes and songs from the show, entitled Spies Are Forever: RELOADED.[3]
A concert of Spies Are Forever was scheduled to be held on June 8, 2020, in Feinstein's/54 Below in New York City, but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It would have starred all original cast members except for Joe Walker, with the addition of Britney Coleman, AJ Holmes, Pomme Koch, and Carlos Valdes.[4] The concert was rescheduled for October 2022.[5]
