Two Thousand Miles
Some unexpected and exciting news!
I am now composing the music for an original musical entitled “Two Thousand Miles” written by Alyssa Williams and Morgan Bartholick! It will have a reading at The Green Room 42 on June 7th. (More info coming soon.)
Split between California and New York City, Two Thousand Miles tells the story of illness, strength, and life-altering experiences through events that reunite a group of friends. Davis, a business school student turned playwright dealing with Lupus, and his boyfriend Nate, a composer overcoming the recent loss of his brother, are working towards the premiere of their new musical. Ava fights to share her reality of living with Arthritis and being a working actor, while Jessica struggles to reignite her passion and face what's holding her back in a new city. Julian and Christina are unexpectedly pregnant to his mother's disapproval; how will this affect their future and their relationship? Through their collective journeys, the friends show us how love can transcend illness and personal strife through acceptance and the bonds of friendship.
The reading will be produced by Williams & Bartholick Theatricals in association with The Jade/Anthony Company and directed by Devon Goffman (On Your Feet! 1st Nat'l Tour, Motown The Musical, US Tour). The cast includes Danny Burgos as Davis (On Your Feet! Broadway,1st Nat'l Tour, Bhangin' It, Ja Jolla), Marina Pires as Ava (On Your Feet! 1st Nat'l Tour, Evita, Asolo Repertory) Morgan Bartholick as Nate (Wizard of Oz, Vital Theatre Company, HAIR, Secret Theatre), Linedy Genao as Jessica (On Your Feet! Broadway, Havana Music Hall, World Premiere), Emmanuel López Alonso as Julian (On Your Feet! Broadway, Russian Doll, Netflix), and Allison Lane as Christina (NYC debut!). The role of Victoria will be announced at a later date.
Stay tuned for further updates on this exciting new venture!
