This was a fun show to revisit. The first show I ever worked on in NY was Jim Houghton’s production at the Union Square Theatre in 2002. We came to NYC that summer to visit friends, and ended up staying for a few months to see if it was a place we could be comfortable living. We fell even more in love with the city, and moved here as soon as we could.
In 2002, I was the assistant designer to Rob Kaplowitz. This time I wrote all of the music, which was a great time and challenge. Pam and I decided on jazz as a medium. The play is about friendship, grief, love, and the crazy tumble of passion. But mostly about recovering from the loss of a friend and brother. But we didn’t want to wallow in sentimentality. We wanted to be interesting, but not get in the way of the story. I think we did that.
