Congrats to Kira Stone and Matthew Greene on the first-ever public staged reading of their Widows musical at Village Theatre. Dark-humor twist on the sisterhood of traditional 1950s suburban housewives, where the American Dream shatters and the twists keep coming. Fierce, attitude-filled diva anthems, sung with on-point voices. Lauren Drake’s effortless belt earned an extended ovation, along with Andi Alhadeff. Opening reading in the The 23rd Annual Festival of New Musicals. 4 more different shows left this weekend!
