In this reimagining of Shakespeare’s tragedy, Hiran Abeysekera (Life of Pi) stars as the Danish prince grappling with grief, betrayal, and the corrosive pursuit of truth.

I'm Almost There is a musical journey that recontextualizes the epic poem The Odyssey into the framework of modern dating. The narrative begins with the relative simplicity of experiencing love at first sight, contrasting it with the difficulty of allowing a relationship to progress past the initial stages. In this contemporary retelling, the classic monsters are substituted with obstacles like intrusive neighbors, and the path to connection involves self-deprecation, genuine longing, and distinctive humor.

This critically acclaimed piece is created and performed by Todd Almond (known for Girl from the North Country and Gossip Girl). The production comes to BAM following a run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The director is Tony Award winner David Cromer (whose directorial credits include The Band’s Visit, Our Town, and Good Night, and and Good Luck).

Almond brings his personal journey to the stage through original songs that express his anxieties, hopes, and humorous mistakes. He is accompanied onstage by musicians Erin Hill (on harp and vocals) and Luke McCrosson (on bass), collectively telling a story about the complexities of fear and the pursuit of love.

Crafted by a team of multidisciplinary artists, this critically acclaimed, non-linear production blends intimacy, humor, and emotional rawness in a metatheatrical journey through heartbreak, obsession, and the slippery nature of truth.
