IN THE GREEN Previews

Performances of In the Green, a new musical by and starring Grace McLean, begin tonight. Lee Sunday Evans directs the production, which runs at Lincoln Center's Claire Tow Theater.

Who's going?

Just got out of tonight’s first preview. It’s a weird show. They’re clearly still working through a lot—the house opened at the time the show was supposed to start, and they started about 15-20 mins late. There were some technical difficulties throughout with Grace’s looper and the set—a stagehand had to come out and help the turntable rotate. It’s certainly unique, and I’m glad this kind of work is being supported by Lincoln Center. But it left much of the audience confused. All five actors are superb. Grace is clearly pouring her heart into this one, and it shows. Hopefully it improves with previews!

What's the runtime for this?

Thanks for letting us know! I actually forgot the album was coming up. And yes, I agree with your assessment - it was one of the few musicals that I actually thought would have worked better with a concert format, so that we could just focus on the music and the creative use of sound and voices. And it's very rare for me to say that, because usually I'm in the camp of "make things as fully-produced as you can."

Excited to listen to it!
