'Sing Street' to Become Stage Musical, open at NYTW

Per Hollywood Reporter:

A stage adaptation of the comedy-drama with music, about a 16-year-old Dublin lad who attempts to escape his troubled home life and impress a coolly enigmatic local beauty by starting a band influenced by the new wave pop sounds of the 1980s, will premiere as part of New York Theatre Workshop's 2019-20 season.

That off-Broadway venue is the same place where Once had its New York debut in 2011, in a sold-out run that propelled it to Broadway.

Like Once, the Sing Street musical will feature a book by Tony-winning playwright Enda Walsh, while music and lyrics are by Carney and Gary Clark. The latter is the one-time frontman of late-'80s Scottish band Danny Wilson, which had an international hit with "Mary's Prayer." The same team wrote the original songs heard in the movie.

Dates TBA

I love this movie so much! This is exciting!

Love the movie, but put me in the skeptical category. Once turned out ok, but not sure about this one.

Is John Tiffany working on this? I'd love to get the rest of the Once crew on this project

Michael Riedel thinks this could come in and shake up the Spring:

Are tickets all the same price? What was the cheapest ticket, if you remember?

"

Prices range from $69-129, depending on the date. Most dates are $104.

Do NYTW shows ever extend their runs? I'd like to see this but won't be in the city until April.

Thank you! I guess this will be my most expensive ticket of this season.

NYTW Sing Street Casebook

I got my tickets earlier this week! Love the movie and I'm very excited to see how they'll adapt certain aspects of it. If this production can capture the spirit of the film without getting too bloated then I think it'll be a big hit.

GreasedLightning said: "Does anyone know if NYTW’s CheapTix tickets go on-sale the same time as general on-sale or at a later date, a la Access10 tickets at Roundabout? "

Per the email I received today, cheaptix go on sale tomorrow (Oct 4). The specific time is not listed as to when they go on sale though.

”We're committed to making tickets available to every production via our CHEAPTIX initiative.

In addition, we'll also offer a limited number of $25 tickets to all other performances via a CHEAPTIX Digital Lottery in partnership with TodayTix.



After the first two $25 CHEAPTIX performances, single tickets for SING STREET start at $65–$125and vary by performance date and time.
