On a Clear Day You Can See Forever to Receive Off-Broadway Revival
Off-Broadway's Irish Repertory Theatre has announced a new mounting of Burton Lane and Alan Jay Lerner's beloved musical On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. Charlotte Moore will direct the revival, set to star Tony nominee Melissa Errico as Daisy Gamble/Melinda Welles and Tony nominee Stephen Bogardus as Dr. Mark Bruckner. Previews will on June 15 with an opening set for June 28. On a Clear Day You Can See Forever centers on Daisy Gamble (Errico), a woman of extrasensory talents—she sings and flowers bloom, and she always knows where you’ve placed your keys—but it’s her smoking habit that leads her to Dr. Mark Bruckner (Bogardus), a psychiatrist who will attempt to hypnotize her addiction away. In Daisy, Dr. Bruckner discovers the case—and perhaps the love—of his life as he unlocks her past self, an 18th-century British aristocrat named Melinda Welles. The cast of Irish Rep's production will also include John Cudia, Florrie Bagel, William Bellamy, Rachel Coloff, Peyton Crim, Caitlin Gallogly, Matt Gibson, Daisy Hobbs and Craig Waletzko. On a Clear Day You Can See Forever will play a limited run through August 12.
