Check out a sneak peek of "I Miss New York" below! "I Miss New York" is wistful ode to the city we love, seen in a new light because of the pandemic. All lyrics for Songs from an Unmade Bed were written by Mark Campbell. The music for "I Miss New York" was written by Peter Golub.

Songs from an Unmade Bed explores the inner musings and romantic life of a gay man living in New York City and was created by Pulitzer Prize and Grammy Award-winning lyricist and librettist Mark Campbell with 18 composers: Debra Barsha, Mark Bennett, Peter Foley, Jenny Giering, Peter Golub, Jake Heggie, Stephen Hoffman, Lance Horne, Gihieh Lee, Steven Lutvak, Steve Marzullo, Brendan Milburn, Chris Miller, Greg Pliska, Duncan Sheik, Kim D. Sherman, Jeffrey Stock and Joseph Thalken.

The work, which originally premiered at New York Theatre Workshop in 2005, takes on new meaning and provides unique perspectives in the wake of the current coronavirus crisis.

Wong and Schnorr, who married in 2018, created the videos in their New York City apartment as they lived in self-quarantine. Wong stars; Schnorr filmed and edited the videos. The special guests and performers all created their contributions separately from their own homes.

Wong and Schnorr enlisted music director Wayne Barker in San Francisco and recording engineer Jim Morgan in New York to help with the production of the score. Musicians David Michael Garry, Orville Mendoza, Dave Philips, Joshua Samuels and Doug Vannoni all contributed to the score from their respective home studios.

The premiere production of Songs from an Unmade Bed featured Michael Winther in the solo role with direction by David Schweizer and music direction by Kimberly Grigsby. The original cast recording is on Ghostlight Records.
