SUMMARY:Begin Again
DESCRIPTION:When Gretta\, a gifted but heartbroken songwriter\, crosses paths with Dan\, a record producer on the brink of burnout\, their chance encounter sparks an unexpected collaboration that transforms them both. Begin Again features an original score by Grammy Award-winning pop-rock band Train (“Drops of Jupiter\,” “Hey\, Soul Sister”)\, direction by Lorin Latarro (Waitress\, Chess)\, and is inspired by the Academy Award–nominated film written and directed by John Carney (Once). Set against the exhilarating backdrop of New York City\, Begin Again is a world premiere musical about rediscovering passion\, purpose\, and the courage to start over.
