Enjoy an evening at Parkway Playhouse for their upcoming musical, Ordinary Days!
What do I think will stick with audiences who see this musical the most? Actor Lily X Bartleson answers, “A lot of things: the reality of living in NYC in the early 2000s (if you were living there at the time), the fear of moving on through grief, the anxiety of finishing a grad school paper, the fear of not having a ‘big picture’ or purpose in the world, and a fear of not being able to begin life with someone who isn’t ready.”
Ordinary Days tells the story of four young New Yorkers whose lives intersect as they search for fulfillment, happiness, love, and cabs. Through a score of vibrant and memorable songs, their experiences ring startlingly true to life. Ordinary Days is an original musical for anyone who’s ever struggled to appreciate the simple things in a complex place. With equal doses of humor and poignancy, it celebrates how 8.3 million individual stories combine in unexpected ways to make New York City such a unique and extraordinary home.
Featuring actors Lily Bartleson, Kelli Hall, Joby Lavery, and Eric Martinez this production is directed by Jeff Catanese with music direction by Lynda Shuler. Showing August 9-18, 2024, tickets are available now at www.parkwayplayhouse.com or by calling the box office at 828-682-4285.
