From one of musical theatre's most exciting new composers, Ordinary Days tells the story of four young New Yorkers whose lives intersect as they search for fulfillment, happiness, love and cabs. With equal doses of humor, poignancy and memorable songs, this is an original musical for anyone
who's ever struggled to appreciate the simple things in a complex place. Directed by Barrymore and Helen Hayes Award winner Joe Calarco.
