The Drama Desk Award-winning TADA! Youth Theater presents EVERYTHING ABOUT A DAY (ALMOST), a musical revue conceived and written by Emmanuel Wilson with performances set for July 8-August 3 at TADA! Youth Theater (15 West 28th Street) in Manhattan. Associate Artistic Director and Resident Choreographer Joanna Greer is set to direct and choreograph the production which stars 23 members of TADA!'s Resident Youth Ensemble, children and teens (ages 9-17) from Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and Bronx.

Featuring 15 original songs, EVERYTHING ABOUT A DAY (ALMOST) sheds new light on the typical day in the life of a kid. This lighthearted musical revue takes a look at everything (almost) a kid goes through from morning to bedtime. Experience the rollercoaster ride of being a kid. After breakfast there are quizzes, math problems and lunch room seating, followed by afterschool jobs and classes, fun with BFFs and crushes, and finally, checking for monsters in the closet. It's a show every kid (and adult) can relate to!

EVERYTHING ABOUT A DAY (ALMOST) has music and lyrics by Jill Abramovitz, Brad Alexander, JoAnne Bogart, Deirdre Broderick, Helen Chayefsky, Michael Colby, Jim Colleran, Gary Gardner, Ned Paul Ginsburg, Johannes Gluck, Tammy Holder, John Kroner, Eric Rockwell, AriAnna Rose, Lawrence Rush, and Evan Schiff.

Matthew Gregory serves as Musical Director. The creative team includes Steve O'Shea (set & lighting design) and Megan Turek (costume design). Production Stage Manager is Amy Fisk.
