Hannah Elless, Ryan Vona and More Join STONE AND SPARROW At 54 Below

FEINSTEIN'S/54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents a staged concert of "Stone and Sparrow", a new musical by composer-lyricist Alex Ratner and librettist Laurel Durning-Hammond.

The concert's seven-person cast will feature Hannah Elless (Bright Star, Godspell), Ryan Vona (Paramour, Once), Danette Holden (Cagney, Annie), Michael McCoy (The Phantom of the Opera), Christian Probst (The Book of Mormon), Jimmy Brewer, and Deidre Thompson.

"Stone and Sparrow" is a period drama about one family's move from the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky to a coal mining town on the eve of the Great Depression. The show was developed at Yale as the Theatre Department's premiere faculty-directed original musical, and was selected as a winner of the 2016 New Voices Project, sponsored by New Musicals, Inc. and Walt Disney Imagineering. The show features an entirely acoustic pop/folk score.

When James and Mae Sloane trade their land for a new life in Marrowbone, their daughters Sary and Orlena and adopted son Ward must reconcile newfound independence with greater responsibility. As Sary falls in love, Orlena ascends to the position of assistant schoolteacher in town and Ward descends deeper into the mines, Marrowbone hurtles toward the brink of collapse.

The concert features direction by Stefanie Sertich and music direction by Paul Staroba. The concert is produced by Tyler Emeney.
