Falling Stars, a celebration of the golden era, is conceived and written by Peter Polycarpou, who is joined by Sally Ann Triplett (Finding Neverland, Broadway) in this new musical.

Falling Stars, set in an English antique shop, begins with the discovery of a lost songbook filled with the beautiful refrains of a bygone era. This entrancing production includes the earliest songs and forgotten melodies of composers who went on to become the most famous songwriters of the century. Capturing the spirit of the age, Polycarpou and Triplett serenade audiences with the music of Charlie Chaplin, Irving Berlin, Buddy De-Silva, Ray Henderson, Vincent Youmans, Carl Schraubstader, Arthur Freed and Meredith Wilson.

Peter Polycarpou makes the connection between this bygone era and the present day. Polycarpou reflects that Falling Stars "is a collection of songs written just after another pandemic-the influenza pandemic of 1918, which killed at least 30 million people worldwide. And why did the 1920's roar like they did? Because the music of The Charleston, The Tango and The Foxtrot were an escape from the awful social nightmare of the modern world. These songs are a reminder of a time when song writing was both a craft and a blessed escape." The score includes classics such as "Smile," "What'll I Do" and the catchy "Yes, We Have No Bananas."

Falling Stars is directed by Michael Strassen. The producers are Thomas Hopkins & Michael Quinn for Ginger Quiff Media in association with Guy Chapman and Bailey Harris Kelly.

Falling Stars begins streaming on FEBRUARY 1st and is available through FEBRUARY 14th, 2021, and can be purchased through www.broadwayondemand.com. Rental is only $9.95 and is good for 48 hours.
