“Dax Wiley and Kit Nolan have a real charmer on their hands in Oil & Whiskey, an intimate two-hander that uses an original country score to tell the story of Her and Him as they meet for a drink three years after they break up” — Tony Marinelli, Hi Drama

‘The Last Five Years’ meets Nashville Honky Tonk; Oil & Whiskey is a country rock musical dramedy about two ex-lovers who meet for a drink and relive their entire relationship over a couple of rounds of whiskey. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and by the end, you’ll remember why: you don’t text your ex. Oil & Whiskey debuted at the NYC Fringe Festival in 2025, winning the ‘Sold-Out Award’.

Oil & Whiskey is the debut musical for producer, musician, and songwriter, Kit Nolan. The Nashville based multi-instrumentalist has toured the world performing for millions as the Music Director for Lindsey Stirling, and as a session musician for Robbie Williams and One Direction. He is joined by award-winning playwright and storyteller, Dax Wiley. Juliet Perel and Cornelius Versa will join the cast in starring roles for Zelda and Teddy.

Oil & Whiskey is Directed and Choreographed by Yuval Benit. Cody Rahn is Music Director.
