What if the most brilliant inventor of all time was secretly being assisted by a powerful goddess from another realm? On the night of his birth, Nikola Tesla is chosen by Electra as a channel for transmitting her knowledge to humanity.

A new musical by Billy Larkin and Ron Boustead, set in late 1800s New York during the industrial revolution. The story follows inventor Nikola Tesla, guided by Electra, the powerful Goddess of the Storm Clouds, who sends him visions of groundbreaking inventions during lightning storms. Tesla’s rivalry with Thomas Edison in the “War of the Currents” intensifies as his connection with Electra deepens, blurring the lines between science and mythology. With a blend of jazz, pop, and rock, the music features haunting melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and soaring vocals, bringing this star-crossed love story across two realms to life.
