About the Show

Keen Company presents the first New York revival of this musical about four young New Yorkers whose lives intersect in unexpected ways as they search for success, happiness, love, and taxis.

"Ordinary Days" is a comic and inspiring musical about making simple connections in a chaotic city. It is a sweet, fleet, and tender story that follows its characters as they fight through the emotional noise and dramatic traffic to arrive at a clearer sense of who they are and what they want to be.

Don't see it if You're completely over stories about New York and how living there kills your soul while simultaneously inspiring you. Read more

Great singing, Cliched, Disappointing, Fluffy, Insipid

See it if You love small, sung-through, inoffensive musicals that are about everyday life and sound like Jason Robert Brown-lite.

Don't see it if You’re likely to compare this to a college thesis project, which it probably was. It’s just so very generic & didn’t need a revival.

Quirky, Romantic, Resonant, Well sung, Disappointing

See it if Gwon's 'slice of life in NYC' songcycle doesn't break new ground but pleasant enough Talented actors commited to material Marion shines

Don't see it if Silverstein's phlegmatic direction doesn't help Gwon's rather ordinary craftsmanship Show often feels as adrift as the characters
