Event Description

“It’s about one moment. It’s about hitting the wall and having to make a choice, or take a stand, or turn around and go back.”

-Jason Robert Brown (Composer-Lyricist)

This show is an abstract musical featuring a series of songs all connected by a theme: “the moment of decision” examining life, love and the choices we make. This is the first musical from Tony Award winner, Jason Robert Brown (whose musical Parade will be on our stage in March 2024).

Brown transports his audience from the deck of a 1492 Spanish sailing ship to a ledge, 57 stories above Fifth Avenue, to meet a startling array of characters that range from a young man who has determined that basketball is his ticket out of the ghetto to a woman whose dream of marrying rich nabs her the man of her dreams... and a soulless marriage.

Rated PG-13. Subject matter may not be suitable for young children.

The show runs 1 hours 45 minutes including one 15-minute intermission.

Tickets: $27
