The world-premiere production of Albert Tapper's musical Sessions has announced a one week extension at the Peter Jay Sharp Theater, through August 25. The show opened off-Broadway on June 10 and had been scheduled to run through August 18, directed by Stephen Petrillo.
Sessions is described as a humorous and poignant look at the familiar worlds of self-help, personal growth and those long hours that many have spent on a therapist's couch. It tells the story of Dr. Peter Peterson, who listens, advises and tests his patients. Tapper's songs include "I'm Only Human," "The Sun Shines In," "I've Become My Father," "Feels Like Home" and "You Should Dance."
The show stars Bertilla Baker Titanic as Mrs. Murphy, Amy Bodnar Oklahoma! as Leila, Al Bundonis Ragtime national tour as Baxter, David Patrick Ford The Full Monty national tour as Dylan, Scott Richard Foster Brooklyn the Musical as Preston, Jim Madden Hello, Dolly! as Mr. Murphy, Kelli Maguire A Wonderful Life as Sunshine, Trisha Rapier The Boy from Oz as Mary, Matthew Shepard Beauty and the Beast as Dr. Peter Peterson and Ed Reynolds Young Chapter Two as The Voice.
