In Transit - 2016 - Broadway History , Info & More

Circle in the Square (Broadway)
1633 Broadway at 50th St. New York, NY

Featuring an a cappella score from the talents behind Frozen and Pitch Perfect, IN TRANSIT is a new, modern musical, bringing to life a vivid tapestry of characters and music in the city that never sleeps... or stands still. Inspired by the vibrant rhythms of life on the subway, IN TRANSIT follows the intertwining lives of eleven New Yorkers, all hoping to catch the express train to success, love and happiness- and the stops they make along the way.



With a book, music and lyrics by Academy Award winner Kristen Anderson-Lopez (Frozen), James-Allen Ford, Russ Kaplan and Sara Wordsworth and vocal arrangements by Deke Sharon (Pitch Perfect, "The Sing-Off"), IN TRANSIT is directed and choreographed by three-time Tony Award winner Kathleen Marshall (Anything Goes, Nice Work If You Can Get It).

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR In Transit

Broadway Review: A Cappella Musical ‘In Transit’
8 / 10

Subways are for singing, at least in the world of 'In Transit,' the charming a cappella musical of metropolitan life that's rapturously harmonious, even when the times aren't. The likable, lightweight tuner, which had a run in 2010 at 59E59 - and an even earlier version as 'Along the Way' at 2003's New York Fringe Festival - evokes musicals and revues that celebrate the buzz of being young, hopeful and ever-striving in New York. Okay, so the storylines go back to the days when you still used tokens. But what gives 'In Transit' its new swipe is what's not there - the orchestra - and what is - glorious, pitch-perfect voices, set to Deke Sharon's rich and expressive arrangements.

'In Transit': Theater Review
7 / 10

The appeal of paying Broadway prices for such an experience can be debated. More to the point, In Transit, while boasting engaging performances, features cliched characters and situations too bland for a sitcom, let alone theater.
