Eric Hutchinson Brings New Musical to Holmdel Theatre Co

On Sunday, November 24, 2024, at 5:30pm, Holmdel Theatre Company will present a world premiere presentation of a jukebox musical in development by Eric Hutchinson.  Hutchinson worked with Stockton University Theatre students in their Creative Project Development degree program this Fall to develop the work from scratch.  This new jukebox musical tells the story of Kardashian-esque entrepreneur Jill, and her controversial “dating app for non-daters” called TELLR.  With TELLR in trouble, Jill returns to her small Canadian hometown to show investors that her app can stick anywhere, with anyone. But when she is forced to take care of her ailing father, she must rediscover what connection is really about, before she loses her app and her family.

See a staged reading of the show this Sunday, November 24, at 5:30pm, at Holmdel Theatre Company as part of their hit series “Broadway at the Barn.”  Tickets are $25 and include a catered Meet & Greet with the artist and performers after the presentation. 

The platinum-selling singer/songwriter Eric Hutchinson is known for such hits as “OK, It’s Alright With Me,” “Rock & Roll,” “Tell the World,” and his latest album release “Cliff Notes: The Best of 2014-2024” is an essential collection of Hutchinson’s ever-evolving discography.  Eric can currently be seen at Holmdel Theatre Company this weekend, and on his “Best Of” tour this winter, performing his pop anthems and cult classics in an intimate setting.  For each show, concert-goers will get to vote on the setlist, ensuring a unique and special show in every city.
