Conceived by Susan H. Schulman, Michael Lichtefeld, and Lawrence
Yurman and developed with Hoagy Carmichael’s son, Hoagy Bix Carmichael,
the new musical tells the story of six friends and the one man who
brought them all together. The seven friends weave a story of
camaraderie and shifting relationships through four decades in America.
At the helm of the musical journey through Hoagy Carmichael’s classic
songs are director Schulman and choreographer Lichtefeld, who together
oversaw the Broadway productions of Little Women, The Sound of Music, The Secret Garden, and the Circle in the Square/York production of Sweeney Todd. The music supervisor and arranger is Lawrence Yurman.
The production stage manager is Melanie Morgan, and the casting
director is Michael Cassara. Performances will continue Off-Broadway
through December 31.
