About the Show

A man tries to save a restaurant that has been a home to him, while securing a future for his family

In the back streets of New York's West Village, Jacob Towney attempts to salvage the restaurant that has been his home for more than he can remember and free his daughter to live the life he'd dreamed she could have.

Tony Award winner Simon Stephens (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) collaborates with acclaimed singer/songwriter Mark Eitzel (American Music Club) for this new musical directed by Tony Award nominee Neil Pepe (American Buffalo).

Powerful performances, Great singing, Unique score, Realistic, Touching

See it if you love a high level of acting and singing talent, are interested in a New Yorker's fight to survive, love unique scores and orchestrations

Don't see it if you are only a fan of traditional musicals, want a happy ending at any cost, you don't like to listen to any music made after 1975
