New Off-Broadway musical based on Jodi Picoult & Samantha van Leer’s book BETWEEN THE LINES to be staged at Second Stage
New Off-Broadway musical Between The Lines will begin performances on 14 June 2022 at the Tony Kiser Theater at Second Stage for a strictly limited engagement.
The new musical, based on the novel by international bestselling author Jodi Picoult and Samantha van Leer, was originally scheduled to open Off-Broadway in Spring 2020, but never began performances due to the pandemic.
Directed by two-time Tony Award nominee Jeff Calhoun and choreographed by Paul McGill, Between The Lines has a book by Timothy Allen McDonald, music & lyrics by Elyssa Samsel & Kate Anderson, orchestrations & arrangements by Gregory Rassen and musical direction by Daniel Green.
Between The Lines is an empowering and enchanting new musical for anyone who has ever sought to find their place in the world. An outsider in a new town and a new school, Delilah seeks comfort in the pages of her favourite book, where she feels heard and understood. But as the lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur in both extraordinary and astonishing ways, Delilah has to confront whether she alone has the power to rewrite her own story.
Casting, the full creative team and further information will be announced shortly.
Producer Daryl Roth said: “It has been a long and winding road, but I am thrilled that we are finally bringing this joyous musical to New York audiences. As we emerge from these challenging times, I hope that Delilah’s story of finding her voice; encouraging young people to discover their own strength, truth, and confidence will inspire us and lift our spirits. Delilah sings about “A Whole New Story,” and I feel we have been gifted just that.”
Tickets go on general sale on 11 October 2021 here.
