Heavens Cafe
''Heavens Cafe'' is a rock opera written and composed by John Miner. It was first staged in Las Vegas, Nevada, in 1996. The opportunity to perform the musical theater project came after Miner's demo was heard by investor Mike Lewis of Las Vegas-based Tributary Music Label after his departure from California-based progressive rock group Mantra Sunrise. Miner established a new band, named ''Art Rock Circus'' with drummer Jon Weisberg and bassist Jon Cornell to stage the live performances at the Flamingo Theater in Las Vegas. Former Follies Bergere performer Kristine Keppel directed the original casting. In 2003, Los Angeles based theater director John Beane approached Miner about staging the opera in the Los Angeles area later that year. Beane's new vision for the project came to fruition in May 2004 with a six-week California run at the Insurgo Theater which included Ken Jaquess on bass and Nolan Stolz on drums.
== Synopsis ==
The Classical Man suffers an untimely death and arrives at an afterlife coffee house called Heavens Cafe. It is here he meets his previous self (Classical Man), his current incarnation (Lark), and his future potential self (Robin). Along his suspenseful journey through the afterlife, he is accompanied by his protective angel (Guardian Angel), and the protagonistic negative force (Devil). His alter ego (Kral, Lark spelled backwards) is the caretaker of the coffee house where much of the opera takes place. Kral also acts as the comic relief of the play. Once the lead character (Lark) leaves the cafe, he embarks on a soul-searching journey in quest of the mysterious "Tower of Information" where he hopes to find all the unanswered questions he has remaining about the meaning of life and the purpose of existence. After finding out that he cannot proceed past "The Tower," he finds himself lost without a cause, that is, until he finds the beautiful "Robin" in the play's "dream within a dream" sequence, and falls in love with her energy and beauty. They consummate their love in this place between life and death and Lark is hurled back to the next earthly reincarnation now as the baby "Robin" at the play's end.
