It opens on the Tuesday after our Merrily weekend. 😭

Tickets are now on sale, with previews beginning at the Newhouse in just over a month (Oct. 19), and opening a month after that (Nov. 20).
The show also has a lovely new McMullan poster:

It wish it was beginning previews a week earlier or we scheduled our Sondheim Weekend a week later. I would love to see this again. :'(
