By: Craig Brockman Sep. 13, 2005
Rooms, a new musical billed as a "rock romance," opened as part of NYMF on September 13th at the 45th Street Theatre (354 West 45th Street, between 8th & 9th Avenues) and BroadwayWorld was there for the afterparty.
With music and lyrics by Paul Scott Goodman and book by Goodman & Miriam Gordon, Rooms is directed by Scott Schwartz (Golda's Balcony, Jane Eyre, Bat Boy, tick, tick...Boom!). The show centers on songwriting partners Monica Miller and Ian Wallace, who meet in Glasgow, Scotland in 1977. "Monica is a middle-class Jewish girl interested in the bright lights of Broadway while Ian is a working-class rock-and-roll Catholic boy. Nevertheless, opposites attract and the two form an instant bond. Their music takes them from Glasgow to London to New York. Though Monica longs to see every room in the world, Ian is happy with four walls, a window, his music and a scotch...the show explores their musical journey around the world and through time," according to production notes. Rooms is presented by G3 Productions, a new company devoted to developing and nurturing new musicals for the stage and screen.Rooms' performance schedule is: Tuesday, September 13 at 8:00 PM, Friday, September 16 at 1:00 PM, Sunday, September 18 at 4:30 PM & 8:00 PM, Wednesday, September 21 at 8:00 PM andFriday, September 23 at 8:00 PM.
