“A Walk on the Moon has been a true labor of love for us,” said Producers Ruth and Stephen Hendel. “Pearl's journey- a woman beginning to question the life she's built and finding the courage to imagine something more - unfolds during the remarkable Summer of 1969, when the country united to reach toward new possibilities. The piece celebrates the music, culture, and incredible leaps for humankind made during that summer, while also reminding us that our history isn't so dissimilar from our present. We're incredibly proud of this beautiful musical and thrilled to share it with New York audiences.”

About A Walk on the Moon

It's the Summer of 1969. Pearl Kantrowitz, a Brooklyn mother and housewife, takes the annual trip north to a Catskills bungalow colony just as the world begins to shift beneath her feet. The country is reaching for the moon. A new spirit of freedom is sweeping the nation. And an unexpected encounter leads her to a musical festival happening just around the corner. As the countercultural revolution begins, and music starts to change the world, Pearl awakens to a life beyond the one she's always known.
