BREAKDOWN
A delightful world premiere musical based on the beloved offbeat ’90s romantic comedy movie. As Joon’s sole caretaker, auto mechanic Benny makes sure his eccentric sister lives a comfortable, safe, and predictable life. But when Sam shows up, his off-kilter take on the world—full of classic films, Buster Keaton, and an oddball approach to domestic life—turns everything upside down. With unforgettable characters and a beguiling and tuneful score, Benny & Joon explores what happens when we step out of our comfort zones and take a leap toward love.

RUTHIE:
Female; 30-40; Non-Caucasian. A former B-movie actress who has retuned to her home town of Spokane—now a diner waitress and manager of small apartment building. A natural beauty-vulnerable, somewhat shy, but, after a series of unfulfilled romances is anxious to make a meaningful emotional connection with Benny.
