Samuel French Nabs Rights to Broadway's TUCK EVERLASTING

Samuel French, the world's leading theatrical publishing and licensing company, has announced their representation for performance rights of the acclaimed musical Tuck Everlasting.

"We're genuinely excited to have Samuel French represent our show," say composer Chris Miller and lyricist Nathan Tysen. "Tuck Everlasting is an adventure story for the ages and we are thrilled that Samuel French will spread its life affirming message beyond Broadway and out into the world for many years to come."

"Samuel French is absolutely thrilled to be representing Tuck Everlasting," says Bruce Lazarus, Executive Director. "It features a beautiful and moving score by Miller and Tysen matched with a solid stage adaptation of the beloved novel by Shear & Federle. Tuck Everlasting is a perfect fit for all of the audiences we serve - from professional to educational - and will be a staple in our catalog for years to come."

With a book by Claudia Shear (Dirty Blonde) and Tim Federle (Better Nate Than Ever), and a score by Chris Miller, and Nathan Tysen (The Burnt Part Boys, Fugitive Songs), Tuck Everlasting was one of the most critically celebrated productions of the 2016 Broadway season.

Based on the best-selling, award-winning novel by Natalie Babbitt, Tuck Everlasting is the beautifully drawn, evocative tale of 11-year-old Winnie Foster, a free spirit who longs for adventure. When she meets the Tucks-and discovers they hold the secret to everlasting life-she faces an extraordinary choice: return to her own family, or join the Tucks on their never-ending journey.
