Hello BWW,

Sorry for the late notice but for anyone in NYC this weekend, there is an opportunity to see a really cool off-Broadway musical FOR FREE at Theater 80 in the East Village.

It's called Hereafter, and here's a synopsis from the website (hereaftermusical.com):

"Three women have come together one afternoon for a reading at the Middletown, New Jersey home of psychic, Jason Richards. They each have had difficulty coping with the loss and of their loved one and are desperate to make contact. Unbeknownst to them, the spirits materialize during the reading and we discover that, like the living, they are also having a great deal of difficulty moving on. But the spirits are faced with a dilemma. The only thing keeping them earth bound is their family’s need for closure. They discover that if they make contact today, it will ease their family’s pain, but they will disappear into the unknown of the Hereafter."


Ok, sorry that synopsis was so long...but basically it's a musical drama dealing with life & death and such. The reason it's FREE is that this is its debut off-B'way run and Vinnie Favale (the guy who wrote the thing) wants full houses this weekend to impress potential investors for further runs, and just to get a good word of mouth going (and maybe encourage you to buy a cast recording if you like the music).

So that's the deal: free shows today (Saturday) and tomorrow @ 2pm and 7pm both days, so four chances total.

To make reservations, just e-mail [e-mail], and put JESSIE in the title. As far as I know there are still a lot of empty seats available this weekend so why not catch a free original musical?

If you do e-mail, you might as well mention that you saw this on Broadway World, so that producers know that this forum is a great way to promote shows, etc. Also makes me look good for having the idea to offer this to you all here.

Edit: this wasn't quite off-topic and not quite Broadway, so I posted this in both. Is there an off-Broadway section? I haven't been frequenting the boards lately...

Thanks anyone who read this whole damn thing!
