FALLING OUT: A NEW MUSICAL at Chelsea Table + Stage Cast Unveiled

Chelsea Table + Stage in association with FRIGID New York, Weigand-Klein, Fidelity Theatricals, and Painted Pistachio will present an Off-Broadway transfer of the downtown hit, Falling Out: A New Musical at Chelsea Table + Stage inside the Hilton Fashion District Hotel (152 W 26th St, New York, NY 10001) on Saturday and Sunday nights, May 9-31.

Following an acclaimed run downtown, FALLING OUT makes its anticipated Off-Broadway transfer!

In a downtown New York music bar, ballads of lost loves and missed opportunities float on the air. Worlds collide when a melancholic transplant meets a musician with a past. Together they create a discordant harmony that will uncover the truths they both need to reshape their lives.

The cast will feature actor-musicians Graceann Kontak, Sam Vena, Emma Gervasi, Emilie Bienne, Austin Karkowsky, and Colum Goebelbecker.

The creative team includes Book, Music & Lyrics by Josée Weigand-Klein, Additional Materials by Meg Ledford, Musical Direction by Calvin Hitchcock, Lighting Design by Zach Pizza, and Sound Design by Emerson Wachnik. The production is directed by Anthony Logan Cole with General Management by 3C Theatrical. Arrangements by Calvin Hitchcock and Josee Klein with Gideon Klein.

FRIGID New York's mission is to provide both emerging and established artists the opportunity to create and produce original work of varied content, form, and style, and to amplify their diverse voices. We do this by presenting an array of monthly programming, mainstage productions, an artist residency, and eight annual theater festivals that create an environment of collaboration, resourcefulness, and innovation. Founded in 1998, the aim was and is to form a structure, allowing multiple artists to focus on creating and staging new work and providing affordable rental space to scores of independent artists. Now in our third decade we have produced a massive quantity of stimulating downtown theater. www.frigid.nyc
