Set after the events of 9/11, Ordinary Days encapsulates the breadth & life of New York City in all its art forms; following the path of 4 new yorker’s as they search for fulfillment, acceptance, happiness and escapism. When optimistic Warren finds Deb’s notes for her grad thesis, they unknowingly kickstart a chain of events that not only change their lives, but the lives of fellow New Yorkers Jason & Claire forever.
Ordinary Days is a musical like no other, with complex interconnected songs and a thrilling tale that makes the ordinary lives of us all feel more and more extraordinary by the end of the show.
“This show holds a special place in my heart after working on the original London production so revisiting as Director is a real privilege. It’s beautifully poignant and at times really funny. Adam Gwon’s music has a way of sneaking up on you and tugging at your heart strings.” Julie Atherton tells us ahead of rehearsals.
