A Workshop production from BSC’s acclaimed Musical Theatre Lab

A soup kitchen in the Depression. A pregnant woman refuses to give birth until she sees more hope in the world. Former socialites, unemployed actors, capitalists down on their luck, and Eleanor Roosevelt try to get through the Depression with some dignity intact.

William Finn revisits his celebrated score, and along with his Spelling Bee collaborator, Rachel Sheinkin, re-imagines the book for new hard times.

Book by Rachel Sheinkin 
Music & Lyrics by William Finn
Directed by Joe Calarco
