In this fresh take on the modern musical, press notes state, "seven performers take on multiple roles and create every note with their own voices for a rich theatrical experience unlike anything you've seen (or heard) on stage before. Inspired by the rhythms and sounds of life on the subway, In Transit follows an aspiring actress, a fledgling financier, a street-savvy beatboxer, a cab driver, and others as they find their way in New York City. The result is a vivid tapestry of characters and music in the City that never stands still."
In Transit was originally produced Off-Broadway in fall 2010 by Primary Stages at 59E59. The limited-run engagement began previews on Sept. 21, 2010, and officially opened Oct. 5, 2010, to positive reviews and was awarded the 2011 Drama Desk Award for “Outstanding Ensemble.”
