On the verge of turning 40, Elizabeth moves back to New York City, the ultimate city of possibility, intent on a fresh start - new home, new friends, and hopes for a resurgent career.

But even in her carefully planned new life, the smallest decision or most random occurrence will impact her world in ways she never dreamt possible. Set against the ever-shifting landscape of modern day Manhattan, If/Then is a romantic and original new musical about how choice and chance collide and how we learn to love the fallout.

Starring Tony Winner Idina Menzel as Elizabeth

Reviews

Every single thing that happens in If/Then is new. And perhaps it would have been better if the authors had found a way to begin untangling the plot instead of convoluting it further as Act Two proceeds. But these are quibbles, ungrateful ones at that. We keep clamoring for smart musicals that don’t just rehash some well-known property or lard it with songs we heard 30 years ago. At the same time we want stories that speak to something we feel now, whose developments we don’t anticipate ten or 120 minutes ahead of their arrival, or indeed before we enter the theater. If/Then surely answers all those needs

----Vulture

We are meant to feel a bit off-balance, a little disoriented, maybe even confused in parts of "If/Then" -- and that's the sharp point. In this intelligent, surprising, altogether original new musical, the main character is a 39-year-old divorced woman, Elizabeth, who returns to New York after 12 years as a wife in Phoenix...Menzel doesn't have much vocal variety, but that sound -- soft, medium, loud -- has a lustrous integrity

----Newsday

If/Then is highly entertaining. It's also a star vehicle, hard to imagine without Menzel's magnetic presence. (The songs are unimaginative, the choreography hit-or-miss.) There are other lapses, too, like a facile subplot pitting Elizabeth's urban planning against Lucas's grassroots agitation. But a clever ending avoids the fatalism that If/Then's double plot might imply — that's a lot of pressure to put on a single afternoon's whim, after all. And it's refreshing to see a Broadway musical about choices, not fairy-tale fates, with a heroine who's pushing 40 and forthrightly facing life's possibilities
