Off-Broadway's hit musical comedy 'Good Morning New York' has recouped its capitalization costs, according to producers, in the five-week limited engagement at the Players Theatre.

Good Morning New York is extending its 'free headshot day' promotion Friday night (January 31st).

The Off-Broadway cast includes two-time Tony award nominee Alison Fraser (voice overs only), Zach Holden, Christae Evanson, Morgan DeTogne, Bobby Allan, Andrew Cuccaro, Jacqueline Keeley, Lexi Rosenblum, Therin Morrisey & Nick Caycedo.

Lisa (Anna Stefanic) opens the door to her home and switches on the light.  A naked man is sprawled out on the floor with food.  He 'bellows a pained roar.'  She shrieks, fumbles her groceries and quickly douses the offending brightness.  When she turns the light back on, a paper shopping bag has been placed on the man's head.  'God damn it, Davey' she says.  The damnation of that moment will carry through the very funny Soul Survivor.
