Good Morning New York, written by Emmy® award-winning journalist Jacklyn Thrapp, explores the behind the scenes culture of local news - especially in NYC. It has all original songs about the Staten Island Ferry, The Plaza and even a six minute tap dance number in a diver bar.
The set includes a control room, NYC skyline and iconic Staten Island Ferry scene.
"The Staten Island Ferry was a fun scene to create," Thrapp says. "We bought a versatile baby play space, painted it orange and it looks exactly like the ferry. We also have a massive NYC skyline curtain that took nearly 60 hours to hand sew. The audience will be really impressed."
