Watcher in the Woods: a new musical opened a showcase production last night, September 12, at Urbanstages (259 West 30th Street) Based on the novel by Florence Engel Randall, the show is written by Douglas Thompson (Book & Lyrics) and Johanna Telander (Score). See photos from the show.

The cast is led by Sophia Manicone as Jan, and Natalie Toro as Mrs Aylwood, with Carson Worthy as Mark, Rachel Zatcoff as Kate, Broadway favorite Jackie Hoffman as Mrs Thayer, Felicia Curry as Mrs Fleming, Honor Blue Savage as Ellie, and Charlotte MacLeod as Saundra.

Described as a "supernatural family drama," the musical is set in summer 1976 as Jan, still haunted by the traumatic loss of her father, moves into an old house in the woods with her mom and little sister. Forces she cannot see, and feelings that are not hers, compel Jan to unlock the 50-year-old mystery of a young girl's disappearance in the woods. The production is Directed and Designed by Chase Kniffen, leading a creative team that also includes music director Brian Walters, costume designer David Marmon, lighting designer Joe Doran, sound designer Elisabeth Weidner, and hair and wig designer Bryan Gonzalez. Casting is by Meredith Hoddeson, and Michelle Elizabeth IS production stage manager.
