The official synopsis for If/Then is as follows: "On the verge of turning 40, Elizabeth moves back to New York City, the ultimate city of possibility, intent on a fresh start - new home, new friends, and hopes for a resurgent career. But even in her carefully planned new life, the smallest decision or most random occurrence will impact her world in ways she never dreamt possible. Set against the ever-shifting landscape of modern day Manhattan, If/Then is a romantic and original new musical about how choice and chance collide and how we learn to love the fallout."

IF/THEN begins performances at The National Theatre in Washington, D.C. on November 5, 2013 and the official opening is set for November 24, 2013. The production will then begin previews on Broadway on March 5, 2014 and will officially open on March 27, 2014.
