Feels Like the First Time – The Foreigner Musical, directed by Tony nominee Adam Pascal, will take the stage at Tilles Center for the Performing Arts from April 17 to April 26, 2026. This new musical, created in collaboration with the iconic rock band Foreigner, follows the lives of the Davis family in 1985, who win a visit from rock star Simon Bash, only to find their dreams turned upside down. The production features a cast primarily composed of LIU students and promises to deliver hits like "Cold as Ice" and "I Want to Know What Love Is," exploring themes of family, ambition, and rediscovery.
