Kevin Newbury directs this operetta, an "irresistible gem" said Joe Lynch of Billboard, which tells of lovers in small town America who become separated when the woman decides to travel to New York City in search of her destiny, and then she disappears.

Almond and Love will be joined by a chorus of sirens played by Kate Douglas, Angel Lin, Molly McAdoo, Barrie McLain, Angela Sclafani and Sylver Wallace, and a string quartet featuring Sarah Goldfeather (violin), Josh Henderson (violin), Sarah Elizabeth Haines (viola), Eric Allen (cello) and Rachel Iba (violin substitute) under the musical direction of David Bloom.
