The award-winning York Theatre Company ended its limited engagement of THE TIMES on January 17, 2010. The production was presented as part of the York's New2NY series.
THE TIMES is a bittersweet comedy charting the course of a marriage through good times, bad times and The New York Times. Liz, an actress, and Ted, a writer, begin their New York love story in 1973 and see their relationship evolve over the course of 17 years through the eyes of their friends and rest of the world--with the help of a familiar newspaper that brings the stories of their lives together. The Times features book and lyrics by Kleban Award winner Joe Keenan ("Frasier," "Desperate Housewives") and music by Brad Ross (Little by Little).
The production featured Jordan Leeds (Sunset Boulevard, original cast I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change) as Ted and Julia Murney (Wicked, MTC's The Wild Party) as Liz. Also featured, Heather Ayers (Young Frankenstein), Sarah Jane Everman (Shrek, The Apple Tree), Mary GorDon Murray (Into the Woods, Footloose), Bill Nolte (The Producers, Amour), Robb Sapp (Shrek; Enter Laughing, The Musical) and Jim Stanek (Little Women, Lestat). Philip Wm. McKinley (The Boy From Oz, The Most Happy Fella) directed the show, while composer Brad Ross was its musical director.
