SING STREET Extended An Additional Week at The Huntington

The Huntington in association with Sing Street LLC has announced an additional week of performances for the joyous new musical Sing Street, based on the hit 2016 indie film of the same title by John Carney ("Modern Love," Begin Again, Once), with a book by Tony Award winner Enda Walsh (Lazarus, Once), and music and lyrics by Gary Clark (front man of Danny Wilson) and Carney, now playing at The Huntington's Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA through October 9, 2022.
