From three-time Academy Award-winning screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky (Network, Marty and The Hospital) comes MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, a comedy about a May-December romance in 1950's New York City. When an older Jewish widower and a young gentile bride of another man meet and fall in love, their relationship throws their disapproving families into a tizzy. This long lost gem from "the poet laureate of the romantically underprivileged" (Theatre Arts) explores "average people... fumbling for the comfort of sheer companionship."
(The New York Times).
The show features a fast-paced, witty, and touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a fresh and vibrant score by William Finn, who also wrote the music for Falsettos and A New Brain. The Tony-award-winning show is under Music Direction of Megan Zeitler, Choreography by Evan Lomba with Artistic Director, Tony Gilkinson, and directed by Casey Vaughan.
