The evening will debut at New York’s Laurie Beechman Theatre for five performances from Tuesday, November 11 through Saturday, November 15 with shows at 7:00 PM.

He was seen in the National Tour of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. His Off-Broadway credits include The Connector, The Fantasticks, Closer Than Ever, Pete ‘n’ Keely, Dames at Sea, and And the World Goes ‘Round.

Marty Silvestri and Joel Higgins have created rich theatrical musicals scores for acclaimed shows from London’s West End (The Fields of Ambrosia) to Off-Broadway (Johnny Guitar: The Musical), in addition to many compositions for television and film, winning nominations and awards from Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle to Drama League, Grammys, and beyond. The revue displays the color and range of the duo’s diverse repertoire of songs. It’s a sung-through story of the thrills of being anywhere else, being with anyone else and, eventually, finding peace by coming home. The Beat of a Wandering Heart features 50 years of tantalizing songs, from the start of their collaboration in the 1970s to the title number, written expressly for the show this year.
