JOURNEY, a unique dining entertainment enterprise from Tony Award winning producer Marc Routh (The Producers, Hairspray), introduces theatrical gastronomy to New York City with an exciting blend of immersive video installations, fine dining, fashion tech, and theatre. Created through the collaboration of a top team culled from the worlds of Broadway, fashion, multi-media, and the culinary arts, JOURNEY is a wholly original experience.

The centerpiece theatrical event is JOURNEY Odyssey, a virtual tabletop culinary experience written by Greg Edwards (Application Pending), directed by Tony winner John Rando (Urinetown, On the Town, Back to the Future the Musical), and featuring beloved Broadway talent, including Tony Award winners Judy Kaye and Cady Huffman, and Deborah S. Craig among others.

·JOURNEY Salon, where entertaining mystery and curiosities await as you enjoy a mix of live and filmed entertainment;

·JOURNEY Epic Café, where augmented reality brings the dinner plates to life.
