Based on Levi’s first book, this musical concept from 2017 gets unnervingly close to its tragic antagonist–a troubled old man who runs a failing costume shop in a dying city. He is tormented by visions of the costumes coming to life, but when an innocent man is murdered by someone in a similar costume, Mr. Larson must confront his own past and track down the young mother who crossed his path years before, changing both of their lives forever.
*Fun Fact: Levi filmed this teaser on location in Provo, UT at the costume shop that originally inspired his story.
