A Message to Sean Ono Lennon

Dear Sean Ono Lennon,

I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out to you with great admiration for the profound impact that your parents, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, have had on the world, both through their timeless music and their tireless advocacy for peace.

I am currently involved in an ambitious project called NU.TOPIA, which seeks to honor the legacy of your parents by bringing their message of peace and love to the forefront once again. NU.TOPIA is not just another show; it’s a tribute to the enduring spirit of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, portraying them as one person, one voice in the production, to emphasize their united vision for a better world.

This production is not only Broadway worthy, but it also puts your parents back in the center of the spotlight, advancing their message of peace in a way that resonates with audiences today, allowing for a greater conversation around this very important subject. Through the immersive experience of NU.TOPIA, we aim to inspire individuals to recognize the power within themselves to effect positive change in the world. Just as your parents believed, we understand that true peace begins with inner transformation, and by changing ourselves, we can change the world.

NU.TOPIA offers a unique opportunity to honor the work done by your mother and father in advancing the peace movement, while also providing a tangible means for audiences to understand and embody their message. By weaving together the timeless music of The Beatles with immersive storytelling and innovative production elements, NU.TOPIA creates an experience that transcends entertainment and becomes a catalyst for personal and societal transformation.

I believe that with your insight and endorsement, Sean, NU.TOPIA can reach new heights and impact audiences in profound ways. Your support would be invaluable in bringing this vision to life and ensuring that your parents’ legacy continues to inspire generations to come.

Thank you for considering my proposal, Sean. I look forward to the possibility of connecting with you and discussing this exciting opportunity further.

Warm regards,

Loren Wilder

The Production Notes

Through the explosive visuals of a true multi-media experience, NU•TOPIA combines the wisdom of John Lennon and the iconic music of The Beatles to create a fresh and much needed new approach to the Peace Movement. The Beatles songs combined with the voice of one of the greatest artists of our time (John Lennon) create in the audience member space for a spiritual, emotional and psychological transformation.  The show brings an understanding of universal oneness that can be carried by each audience member into the world helping to usher in a more peaceful society.  NU•TOPIA aims to remind our world that all we really need is love.

Produced at The Wheeler Opera House, NU•TOPIA was done in collaboration with the University of Utah dance department lead by Melonie Buchanan Murray PhD.  NU•TOPIA features Ashley Chin-Mark portraying Ono Lennon,  Gregory Gonzales in the role of the everyman and his Higher-Self danced by Amy Anderson. Both are from the Colorado Ballet. Sisters from Carbondale, CO Elyssa and Jaqui Edgerly are the incredible aerialists.  Dancers from the University of Utah played our skeletons and round out the dance ensemble.

Loren created all scenic elements, the lighting and costume design. She also  directed all video content. The show was seen by 750 people, who enthuisatically went off like popcorn upon viewing, under an ASCAP license.
