A Fine and Private Place, which began previews at the York Theatre Company on April 13th, is set to open on April 27th for a limited run through May 21st.

The musical, which is based on the Peter S. Beagle novel, features book and lyrics by Erik Haagensen and music by Richard Isen. In addition to Christiane Noll (Jekyll & Hyde, The Mambo Kings), Glenn Seven Allen (The Light in the Piazza) and Gabriel Barre, it features Joe Kolinski, Evalyn Baron and Larri Rebega. Barre, whose work as a director includes Almost, Maine, Summer of '42 and Andrew Lippa's The Wild Party, will helm the piece as well as recreate the role of The Raven, which he performed in the show's premiere at Goodspeed Opera House in 1989.

The show "is a musical fantasy of love and discovery, as two couples (one living, and one of the spirit world) find that love and redemption can be found in the most unexpected places. Set in the Yorkchester Cemetery in the Bronx (inspired by the Woodlawn Cemetery), A Fine and Private Place proves that love can be an affirmation of life," state press notes.

 The York Theatre Company is located at Saint Peter's Theatre in Citigroup Center at 619 Lexington Avenue. For tickets, visit www.smarttix.com. Visit the show's website, www.afandpp.com, or www.yorktheatre.org for more information.
