Richard Cory, according to the NYMF website, is "based on the famous poem by E.A. Robinson, [and] tells the story of a man who has 'everything' yet simply cannot fit in. Each scene is in a different musical style, but in every interaction, Richard fails to find his own voice."

The musical will be presented Sept. 14 at 8 PM, Sept. 17 at 8 PM, Sept. 18 at 4:30 PM, Sept. 19 at 7 and 9:30 PM, Sept. 21 at 1 PM and Sept. 24 at 1 PM. The Lion's Theatre is located in Manhattan at 410 West 42nd Street. For more information, visit www.nymf.org.
