Marcy in the Galaxy
March-April 2008
A new musical with music & lyrics by Nancy Shayne, book by Michael Patrick King and Nancy Shayne. Directed by Jack Cummings III.
Transport Group presented this world-premiere musical with music by one of New York's most idiosyncratic and gifted coposers, Nancy Shayne, and a book by the Emmy Award-winning writer of HBO's Sex and the City, Michael Patrick King. Marcy in the Galaxy is a funny, dark musical glimpse at what happens to a woman whose dream of being a New York artist takes longer to come true than she had planned. At mid-life, Marcy finds herself alone in The Galaxy Diner out of money and almost out of hope. What ensues is a humorous and poignant self-examination that explores dreams, disappointment, family, first love, and delicious diner desserts.
This production starred Janet Carroll, Donna Lynne Champlin, Jenny Fellner, Mary-Pat Green, Jonathan Hammond and Teri Ralston.
