The Civilians Announce Jill Sobule & TIMES SQUARE A New Musical

The Civilians (Steve Cosson, Artistic Director), the award-winning New York-based theater company, presents Jill Sobule & Times Square, a new musical on February 5, 2018, at Joe's Pub. Join Jill Sobule and her collaborators for a special performance of songs from Times Square, a new musical about two girls who find courage, love, and rock and roll while on the run in the rough and sleazy streets of the old Times Square. Inspired by the cult classic movie of the same name, Sobule and her longtime collaborator Robin Eaton have created a score that evokes the eclectic musical landscape of late 70's NYC, from the downtown CBGB's sound to heartfelt ballads.

Composers, Lyricists and Performers: The evening will feature songs by Jill Sobule, and Robin Eaton. Performers include Jill Sobule, Robin Eaton, Ada Westfall, Jo Lampert, MinJi Kim, Caitlin Cobb-Vialet, among others.
