I’m Almost There, a critically acclaimed musical journey by Todd Almond (Girl from the North Country, Gossip Girl), comes to BAM from the Edinburgh Fringe. Directed by Tony Award winner David Cromer (Good Night, and Good Luck; The Band’s Visit; Our Town), this whimsical yet poignant piece transplants The Odyssey into the modern world of dating. The monsters here are nosy neighbors, and the path leads through self-deprecation, heartfelt longing and offbeat humor.
Accompanied onstage by musicians Erin Hill (harp/vocals) and Luke McCrosson (bass), Almond brings his journey to life with original songs that evoke his anxieties, hopes and comic missteps, telling a humorous and profound story about fear and love.
