   Lafayette native Lance Bordelon is excited to return to his roots in the creative community of Acadiana to produce “The Seven: a New Musical” on the Cité Des Arts stage this month. Boasting a powerhouse cast of vocal talent, mesmerizing orchestration of regional musicians, and innovative staging, “The Seven” continues to inspire audiences and showcase the kind of fresh talent that could only come from the heart of South Louisiana. 

   After nearly seven years of rewriting and workshopping under the title “The Subway” in Slidell, LA, the production relaunched this year as “The Seven: a New Musical” and is now touring across South Louisiana. The production is thrilled to share its Lafayette debut with the Cité Des Arts community under the technical mentorship of Cité veteran Shane Guilbeau. 

   The musical chronicles the journey of Scott—a young man abandoned on an NYC subway “7” train as a child—as he finds the courage to trust the world above the subway rails and once again believe in love. Scott’s story entangles with all the good and evil of the City through an array of colorful characters as he rediscovers what it means to truly live. Set in a pseudo-reality not too unlike the present, the story transcends generations to communicate the central themes of love and compassion. Audiences praise the show as “Mind-blowing” and “Amazing” – frequenting the question “This was created by students?! This is incredible!”
