Now. Here. This., the latest work from the gang behind [title of show] begins previews March 7 at off-Broadway’s Vineyard Theatre. The new musical, directed and choreographed by Michael Berresse, will open March 28 and run through April 15.
Now. Here. This. features music by Jeff Bowen and a book by Hunter Bell and Broadway.com contributor Susan Blackwell. The piece, which received a developmental lab production at the Vineyard in 2011, investigates and celebrates living in the present through autobiographical stories and songs accompanied by a multi-piece band. Now. Here. This. explores what goes down in the space between the past and the future, and how the universe conspires to bring people together. The show also delves into life's big questions while exploring birds, bees, reptiles, early man, ancient civilizations, and outer space. Also, loneliness, friendship, hoarding, hiding, laughing, living and dying. And middle school. And dinosaurs.
Bell, Blackwell, Bowen reunite for the production alongside Heidi Blickenstaff, with musical director/arranger Larry Pressgrove.
