Family may be the only musical in New York with no score on paper. At any given performance, musical director Matt Cohen must compose, arrange and orchestrate an original set of songs for the show. Each new score forces Bennett, Gregorio and Guarino to create from scratch a fresh array of characters, using only wigs and their own imaginations. The improvisational musical was born at The World Domination Theatresports Tournament in Atlanta in 2001. It then arrived in New York at 45 Bleecker Theater, later moving to HERE, where it ran for four months.
