Producers Howard and Janet Kagan (Pippin, Porgy and Bess) in partnership with Randy Weiner (Sleep No More) and Simon Hammerstein present the production at the new space — a temporary structure that rises at the corner of West 13th Street and Washington Street, wedged between The High Line and The Standard Hotel in the heart of New York's meatpacking district — through Sept. 1. 

Director Rachel Chavkin, who first staged the ambitious, immersive work at Ars Nova last fall, again directs with choreography by Sam Pinkleton. The piece is the recent recipient of the 2013 Richard Rodgers Awards for Musical Theater. Previews began May 1.
