Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, the new stage musical based on the Oscar-nominated 1970 film, has been extended through March 22 at the Pershing Square Signature Center. The off-Broadway production of The New Group began previews on January 16 and will open on February 4.
With music by Tony winner Duncan Sheik, lyrics by Sheik and Amanda Green and a book by Jonathan Marc Sherman, Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice is a bittersweet comic take on the sexual revolution in which the suavely conventional lives of two successful young couples, all friends, are both stirred and shaken when they open their minds to the changing attitudes around them.
The cast includes Tony nominee Jennifer Damiano as Carol, Michael Zegen as Ted, Joél Pérez as Bob and Ana Nogueira as Alice, along with musician Suzanne Vega.
Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice features direction by Scott Elliott and musical staging by Kelly Devine.
