Welcome Strangers

From the musical "Lunacy", based on the Jules Verne novel "From the Earth to the Moon".
This steampunk rock operetta tells the story of the space race that never was; post-Civil War Yankee cannoneers decide to launch a cannonball at the moon. In this song, Prosymna (belter), the moon princess, welcomes the visitors from Earth who hitched a ride to the moon inside the cannonball.
Music by Jonathon Lynch, lyrics by Matt Boresi.
Shelley Crawford as the singer, Jonathon Lynch on piano.
Performed at the Madden Theater, North Central College, Naperville, IL on July 8, 2011.
