SONGBIRD Will Sing on Through December 6 at 59E59 Theaters
59E59 Theaters has announced that SONGBIRD is extending its run through Sunday, December 6. The production was originally scheduled to close on Sunday, November 29.
Dreams, ambition, love, and heartbreak. SONGBIRD is a striking new show about a fading country star coming home to Nashville. After many years away, Tammy returns to the Honky Tonk that launched her music career to help the son she abandoned launch his own. But with jealousy and self-destruction (along with copious amounts of whiskey) fueling this homecoming, will Tammy's arrival do more harm than good?
The cast features Ephie Aardema (Parade at Lincoln Center In Concert); Tony Award nominee Kate Baldwin (Big Fish, Finian's Rainbow), Adam Cochran (The Last Goodbye at The Old Globe), Tony Award nominee Erin Dilly (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, A Christmas Story, The Musical), Don Guillory (Stickfly), Drew McVety (The Last Ship, Sunday in the Park with George), Eric William Morris (Coram Boy, Mamma Mia!), Kacie Sheik (Hair); Tony Award nominee Bob Stillman (Dirty Blond, Grey Gardens), and Andy Taylor (Once, On The Twentieth Century).
The design team includes Jason Sherwood (scenic design); Aaron Porter (lighting design); Mark Koss (costume design); and Justin Stasiw (sound design). The musical director is Kris Kukul. The production stage manager is Rose Riccardi.
