Ernest Shackleton Loves Me is a highly inventive off-Broadway musical that crisscrosses continents and time in an improbable and enchanting love story and won the Best New Musical of the 2017 Off-Broadway Alliance Awards. This romantic, epic adventure links a struggling modern-day, single-mom composer/violinist and the early-1900's, intrepid, banjo-playing, Antarctic explorer, Ernest Shackleton. Digital projections of actual footage from Shackleton's expeditions are incorporated into the multimedia set design.
Ernest Shackleton Loves Me is written by Joe DiPietro, (Tony Award-winner for Memphis), with lyrics by Val Vigoda and music by Brendan Milburn. Jill Anna Ponasik will direct. Music Director is Eric Svejcar. Making their Skylight debuts will be Matt Daniels as Ernest Shackleton and Janice Martin as Kat.
