Signature Theatre Company opened their world premiere production of Queens Boulevard (the musical) on Monday, December 3 at The Peter Norton Space (555 West 42nd Street, between 10th & 11th Aves), and has also announced a one-week extension of the production, to now run through January 6.  Queens Boulevard (the musical) is by Playwright-in-Residence Charles Mee, directed by Davis McCallum, and choreographed by Peter Pucci.

"On his wedding day, a new husband is determined to find the perfect gift for his bride.  While she waits at home, he searches for the mythical Flower of Heaven and is thrown into a series of colorful adventures on the streets of his neighborhood in Queens, New York.  Inspired by a classical Indian dance drama, Queens Boulevard (the musical) celebrates love, community and life," explain press notes.

The $20 ticket initiative applies to the initial 8-week run of each production for the entire season and continues through Signature's 20th Anniversary Season (2010-2011). The Signature Ticket Initiative, which seeks to make great theatre accessible to the broadest possible audience, is made possible by the lead sponsorship of Time Warner, Inc.  Generous support for The Signature Ticket Initiative is provided by Margot Adams, in memory of Mason Adams.

Queens Boulevard (the musical) features musical supervision and arrangements by Michael Friedman, music direction by Matt Castle, scenic design by Mimi Lien, costume design by Christal Weatherly, lighting design by Marcus Doshi, sound design by Ken Travis and video design by Joseph Spirito.
