All the Way Home, a new musical from Ragtime Tony winners Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, will be part of The York Theatre’s NEW2NY Series, which presents limited runs of new musicals in development.
With music by Flaherty, lyrics by Ahrens, and a book by the late Frank Galati, the April 3-11, 2027, engagement at The Theater at St. Jean’s will be directed and choreographed by Josh Rhodes. Based on James Agee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel A Death in the Family and its Pulitzer Prize-winning stage adaptation, All the Way Home, the musical was originally titled Knoxville and was first produced at Sarasota’s Asolo Repertory Theatre. The musical tells a
universal story of family, faith, and love, as an author recalls the
singular event that changed his life as a boy. This developmental
production will be presented in association with Willette Klausner, Ted
Snowdon, and Riki Kane Larimer.
Two other musicals will be part of the upcoming York series, which will launch March 6-14, 2027, with Sometimes Love, featuring music and lyrics by Michael Mott, a book by Gretchen Suárez-Peña, and direction by Peter Flynn. The original musical, presented in association with Red Hanger Productions and Bee and Tea
Productions, is inspired by the true
story of Aryana Rose, whose presentation at The Moth
captivated millions after it went viral in 2017. Rose, single, in her 40s, and the mother of a grown daughter, moves overseas to begin a new
chapter centered on herself and art, but fate leads her to Gianluca, a free-spirited artist many years her junior who awakens her
heart in ways she never imagined possible.
The series will also include Nikola Tesla: The Forgotten Genius, which will be presented March 20-28. With a book, music, and lyrics by Robert Lindsey-Nassif and a story by Cavan Hallman, this developing musical will be directed by John Znidarsic. The production follows the true story of Tesla, the mystic,
genius, and inventor who battled Thomas Edison to bring electricity to
the world.
Casting will be announced at a later date.
