92Y announces casting for a concert performance of the new musical Between the Lines on Sunday, January 28. This new musical in development, based on the bestselling book by Jodi Picoult and her daughter Samantha van Leer, features:
Music and Lyrics by Elyssa Samsel and Kate Anderson
Book by Timothy Allen McDonald
Orchestrations by Greg Anthony Rassen
Directed by Jeff Calhoun
The event is part of a new series with award-winning producer Daryl Roth, bringing concert performances of musicals to the 92Y stage. Next in the series is It Shoulda Been You on Monday, March 5.
Between the Lines premiered at Kansas City Repertory Theatre in 2017 in association with Daryl Roth and Columbia Live Stage, and was hailed by broadwayworld.com as a "well-conceived, masterfully executed, tuneful, funny example of what you hope a Broadway style musical might aspire to be at its best." Directed by Jeff Calhoun (Newsies), with music by Elyssa Samsel and Kate Anderson (Disney's "Olaf's Frozen Adventure") this enchanting new musical asks, is it possible to live the story you want, if it's not the story you're in?
Seventeen-year-old Deliah McPhee's life is turned upside down. When the handsome hero of her favorite book literally starts speaking to her, she thinks she's found the perfect escape. This empowering new musical will delight everyone who has ever wondered if they have the power to change their own story.
