Photo Flash: First Look at Peggy J. Scott, Adam Ferrara and More in Abingdon's IT HAS TO BE YOU

By:

Catherine Butterfield's IT HAS TO BE YOU, directed by Stuart Ross, runs through October 26 at Abingdon Theatre Company's Dorothy Strelsin Theatre (312 West 36th Street), starring Peter Davenport, Adam Ferrara, Jeffrey C. Hawkins, Peggy J. Scott and Catherine Butterfield. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

In IT HAS TO BE YOU, a wealthy widow (Scott) becomes involved with a much-younger man (Davenport), leaving her grown children to question if she's falling in love or falling prey to a gigolo. The comedy reveals the disastrous results that can occur when three adult siblings (Butterfield, Ferrara and Hawkins) try to juggle the responsibilities of caring for themselves and an aging, eccentric parent.

Performances of IT HAS TO BE YOU run Wednesday and Thursday at 7pm; Friday at 8pm; Saturdays at 2pm and 8pm; and Sundays at 2pm. Tickets are $25. For reservations and more information, call 866-811-4111 or www.abingdontheatre.org.
