It was the strangest of times in the strangest of places, Key West (Cayo Hueso), the island of bones. There was the Great Depression, Prohibition and the catastrophic hurricane of 1935, which destroyed Flagler’s railroad, leaving Key West cut off from the mainland. But the strangest of the strange, without a doubt was Undying Love, the bizarre true story of a passion that defied death. Count von Cosel was the radiologist at the Marine Hospital when he x-rayed the chest of the lovely Elena Milagro Hoyos and fell madly in love.
Writer/musician/playwright, Ben Harrison, tells the rest of the story in his nonfiction book, Undying Love, which earned him a spot in front of national audiences on the Howard Stern Show and This American Life. Then came the musical that distills the atmosphere of Key West in the 1930s, and perfectly melds the pathos of von Cosel’s tale with Harrison’s signature dry humor.
Veteran Director Richard Grusin and Musical Director Larry Baeder will lead a crack ensemble of actors and musicians. Darkly humorous this true story is as fascinating now as it was when it was being reported in newspapers all over the world.

With one of the tallest buildings – and most spectacular views – in town, the Hugh’s View rooftop terrace serves as The Studios’ creative space in the sky. The terrace sits four stories above street level and offers panoramic views of the island. The Kitwald Stage glows in the golden twilight of our sunset performances.
With original seating from its days as a Masonic temple, the Helmerich Theater has been updated to also include floor seating. As a black box theater, the set up is intimate but professional, and sets the stage for concerts and performances that leave guests feeling like they really got to know the performer.
