The original company of The View From Here, a hit at last year's New York Musical Theatre Festival, will reunite in February for a one-night only concert celebrating the release of its premiere cast recording.
On Thursday, September 8, 2005 at the Virgin Megastore in Union Square, 4 NYMF shows - The Unknown, 6 Women With Brain Death (or Expiring Minds Want To Know), The View From Here and Isabelle and the Pretty-Ugly Spell showed off their stuff, and BroadwayWorld was there!

GLASS BUBBLE PRODUCTIONS AND RELENTLESS PURSUITS IN THE THIRD WEEK OF
THE 2005 NEW YORK MUSICAL THEATRE FESTIVAL
Anyone who cares about theater has probably at one point or the other-or many-over the last couple of decades bemoaned the state of the musical. This once-glorious American art form has been in critical condition for some time, and we need new musicals and musical-writing talent, stat! This year one of New York City's summer theater festivals is trying to do something about it. The Midtown International Theatre Festival, in residence on West 36th Street from July 14 to August 3, is focusing on new musicals-the first time the festival has had a 'theme.'
