ARRANGEMENTS A Modern Dramedy
Featuring the music of George Michael
Featuring the music of George Michael
On one charged night at a queer bar, a couple tests the limits of their open "arrangement" while the people around them reveal the agreements they've made about love, sex, money, and safety.
Nothing here is "natural"—every relationship is an arrangement someone agreed to, or didn't.
This isn't a show about George Michael. It's a contemporary story about us—scored with his timeless music.

George Michael was one of the defining pop voices of the 80s and 90s—half of Wham!, then a solo superstar who sold over 125 million records. Behind the hits was a songwriter obsessed with freedom, faith, love, and the cost of living in the spotlight.
His music tackled desire, heartbreak, and the search for authenticity. He wrote about secrecy and coming out before he could do it himself—and when he did, his work became an anthem for LGBTQ+ liberation and self-acceptance. "Freedom! '90" wasn't just a single; it was a declaration.
He also faced struggles that shadowed his career: years in the closet under intense scrutiny, legal battles, addiction, loss, and the weight of fame. That tension—between the glossy pop and the private pain—is what makes his songs so durable.
Arrangements doesn't tell his story. It uses 11 of his iconic songs as emotional landscape—the soundtrack to our own negotiations about love, commitment, and what we owe each other.
"The two words that seem to most define George Michael—at least through his discography—are freedom and faith."
