Matthew Puckett releases; 'Faster' & 'What Love Looks Like' from new musical; Rebel Genius / BroadwayWorld

Peabody Award-winning composer, Matthew Puckett, announced today the upcoming release of two demos, "Faster" and "What Love Looks Like," from his new musical Rebel Genius, about the early life of Albert Einstein, featuring Broadway stalwarts Corey Cott (Newsies, Bandstand) and Hannah Elless (Bright Star, Godspell). With the release of these first two demos, Rebel Genius will continue a new series releasing songs from the show every three months.

Both songs ("Faster" and "What Love Looks Like") are now available for pre-save and will officially be released on Thursday, October 7, 2021, the very day that, in 1933, Einstein left Europe for good, boarding a steamship with his wife Elsa bound for New York where he lived and worked for the rest of his life.

Physics and love collide in Rebel Genius as a young, and highly ambitious, Albert Einstein falls madly in love with Mileva Maric and risks everything he has to find the perfect Unified Theory. The acclaimed new musical is an exploration into the heart and mind of a flawed icon and scientific genius. Max Planck, Niels Bohr and the Atomic Bomb all play a part in the journey and choices of a brilliant human being who is torn between a passionate love for the people in his life and a wild ambition to understand the universe.
