Billy Crystal is starring in the developmental presentation of a new musical adaptation of Mr. Saturday Night at Barrington Stage! Co-starring alongside him is Tony Winner Randy Graff.
It's about a 3 - 3.5 hour trip via car - are you asking about public transit?

I would drive up and make a weekend of it. I would get a hotel in Salem, not Boston. It’s a great time of year to visit."
Does anybody have a map?"
Oh, Barrington! For some reason I was thinking Huntington Theatre Company. My bad!

I wouldn't stay in Boston OR Salem -- totally different sides of Massachusetts -- like 2.5 - 3 hours away, practically as long as the trip from NY. PLEASE don't talk about things you know nothing of. (And no, don't stay in Salem near Halloween.)

People here just love jumping on others for making silly mistakes. As I said above, I was mixing up Barrington with Huntington. How dare I! Grow up.
Someone in a Tree2 said: "Isn't it more surprising that JRB isn't providing his own lyrics to this? Has he ever worked on a score with another lyricist before?"
Not a show that's been produced, but I believe he has. But this is also Billy's passion project and he put it all together...I wonder if he was friendly with Adolph which is how Amanda is attached?
Either way, perhaps JRB will enjoy the freedom of only being composer. He is a better composer than lyricist, and nice that there is at least *one* woman on the creative team. I assume this score is more in the music style of Honeymoon in Vegas?

If you look at the timestamp, I was likely typing when you posted.

Pre-Broadway run, does this aim for Spring 2022 on Broadway? Can Crystal do 8 shows a week? He'll be 74 years old next year.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011.

Going from NYC to Pittsfield is best by car as noted earlier. It's about 3 hours from Manhattan. There is a bus from Port Authority but last I knew it only ran a few times a day and it took about 4+ hours, but the bus station is very close to the theater. There is Amtrak that goes to NYC to Albany then a connecting train to Pittsfield that is also very limited. If you want to make a nice trip of it, get a car, and look for hotels/airbnbs/bed-and-breakfasts in Pittsfield, Richmond, Lenox, Stockbridge, West Stockbridge, even Great Barrington (although that's about 40 minutes drive to the theater). There are a few hotels within walking distance to the theater if you don't drive.
