59E59 Theaters presents SONGBIRD, which just opened last night, October 28, as part of its 5A Season. The cast features Ephie Aardema (Parade at Lincoln Center In Concert); Tony Award nominee Kate Baldwin (Big Fish, Finian's Rainbow), Adam Cochran (The Last Goodbye at The Old Globe), Tony Award nominee Erin Dilly (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, A Christmas Story, The Musical), Don Guillory (Stickfly),Drew McVety (The Last Ship, Sunday in the Park with George), Eric William Morris (Coram Boy, Mamma Mia!), Kacie Sheik (Hair); Tony Award nominee Bob Stillman (Dirty Blond, Grey Gardens), and Andy Taylor (Once, On The Twentieth Century).

Dreams, ambition, love, and heartbreak. SONGBIRD is a striking new show about a fading country star coming home to Nashville. After many years away, Tammy returns to the Honky Tonk that launched her music career to help the son she abandoned launch his own. But with jealousy and self-destruction (along with copious amounts of whiskey) fueling this homecoming, will Tammy's arrival do more harm than good?

SONGBIRD by Michael Kimmel (The Last Goodbye) is based on Anton Chekov's The Seagull, and features a sultry soundtrack filled with heartbreaking ballads and soaring anthems that pay homage to music writer/lyricist Lauren Pritchard's (Spring Awakening) Tennessee roots.

The design team includes Jason Sherwood (scenic design); Aaron Porter (lighting design); Mark Koss (costume design); and Justin Stasiw (sound design). The production stage manager is Rose Riccardi.

Directed by JV Mercanti and produced by Allison Bressi and Diana Buckhantz, by special association with Less Than Rent Theatre, SONGBIRD began performances on October 20 for a limited engagement through Sunday, November 29. Single tickets, which are on sale now, are $70 ($49 for 59E59 Members). To purchase tickets, call Ticket Central at (212) 279-4200 or visit www.59e59.org.
