Signs of Life is an original new musical about a young man coming of age in a chaotic and dysfunctional Long Island family. As he attempts to understand himself within his family and the world, he is led on a journey by the twelve signs of the zodiac. At once profoundly introspective and bursting across the stage with energy, light, and love, Signs of Life celebrates what makes us all divinely human.

Signs of Life, the concept album, will be released in 2026. Featuring a book, music, and lyrics by Christopher DeLair, the album is produced, mixed and engineered by Dan Molad (Lucius, Emily King, JD McPherson, Mt. Joy), and co-produced by Chris Ranney, who also serves as music supervisor. Three singles are currently streaming, featuring Grammy Award winner and two-time Tony Award nominee Shoshana Bean (Hell's Kitchen); Tony and Grammy Award nominee Damon Daunno (Oklahoma); and Solea Pfeiffer (Moulin Rouge!).
