Somewhere in Time has music by Doug Katsaros and lyrics by Amanda Yesnowitz with a book by Macbeth , Altar Boyz and Godspell producer Ken Davenport . Scott Schwartz (Jane Eyre, Golda's Balcony ) helms the musical that will run through June 30.
Samonsky (South Pacific, Queen of the Mist ) stars as Richard Collier opposite Elless (Off-Broadway's The Other Josh Cohen, Mamma Mia! national tour) as Elise McKenna; Kudisch (The Apple Tree, Assassins, 9 to 5 ) as Robinson, the controlling character who manages actress McKenna; and veteran actor David Cryer (Lend Me a Tenor, The Phantom of the Opera ) as Arthur. The ensemble features Leslie Becker , Giovanni Bonaventura, Erin Burniston, Meggie Cansler , Cory English , Leslie Flesner, Lizzie Klemperer, Erik Liberman , Sharonlee McLean, Jared Miller, Benjie Randall and Tad Wilson .
Here's how the creative team bills the musical: "In Somewhere in Time , young playwright Richard Collier has an encounter with a mysterious old woman on the opening night of his earliest success; she entreats him, to his bewilderment, to 'come back to me.' Several years later, with his life and career in disarray, he seeks quiet and contemplation and checks in to a storied hotel from his youth. But his stay at the hotel turns into the journey of a lifetime as he unravels history-and time-to discover a powerful but perhaps impossible love."
John Carrafa (Into the Woods ) choreographs Somewhere in Time , which has musical direction by Patrick Vaccariello (West Side Story, Gypsy ), scenic design by Alexander Dodge , costume design by Jeff Cone, lighting design by Mike Baldassari and orchestrations by Doug Katsaros and Bruce Coughlin .
The original 1980 film "Somewhere in Time" starred Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour .
