The Musical Mondays Theatre Lab presents a preview of the new musical Room 16 May 12 at the Snapple Theatre in Manhattan.

Room 16, described as a "new musical about the unlikely friendship behind the most famous burglary of the 20th Century," was written by Stephen Sislen and Ben H.

Gordon Liddy and C.I.A. agent Howard Hunt, was developed at the BMI-Lehman Musical Theatre Workshop.
