About A Sign of the Times, A New 60s Musical



The Year is 1965. The pulse of a changing era lures Cindy from Middle America to the swirl of New York. Set against the backdrop of women’s liberation, the civil rights movement, and the Vietnam War, she pursues her passion of making a difference in the world. Unexpected friends, lovers, careers, and conflicts—and how the events of the day affect their relationships—are told through classic music from that era. Featuring the songs of Petula Clark and other hit-makers of the day, including “Downtown,” “If I Can Dream,” “The Boy from New York City,” and “You Don’t Own Me,” they’re all “A Sign of the Times!” Book by Bruce Vilanch, Directed by Gabriel Barre, Story Created by Richard Robin.
