FEBRUARY 19 - MARCH 21
Book by Beth Malone, Mary Ann Stratton
Music and Lyrics by Emily Saliers
Directed and Choreographed by Lorin Latarro
New musical comedy set in the mountain town of Sawtooth, Idaho. Astronomer Cyd DeBerg is determined to secure Dark Sky Reserve status for the town — but not if bar owner JD’s neon sign has anything to say about it. When a nationally known podcaster arrives to cover the conflict, small-town tensions lead to revelations about connection, change, and unexpected attraction.

Because no choreographer has ever successfully transitioned to directing?
Do y'all even like theatre around here, or do you just need somewhere to go to complain and feel some modicum of power in your sad lives?

I'm excited. Got my tickets for mid-March. I'm still annoyed that I missed Beth as The Unsinkable Molly Brown which had to close prematurely due to Covid.

Lorin's an incredible person. An absolute delight and a fabulous dancer. Singer, not so much. Saw her play Sheila in the ACL revival once and that At the Ballet was rough.

I feel like Bucks County Playhouse gets slept on a bit, but they've been pulling first-rate casts and delivering top-notch productions for a while now. It's nice to see them get a somewhat high-profile world premiere.

Agreed. Adored their Bridges. Very sorry to have missed their She Loves Me but just couldn’t get there.

If it's a nice day, I park in Lambertville and walk over the bridge. You can also get street parking in the borough. I've been going to BCP since they reopened and have never once parked in their lot.

Theatermania has the first professional review of this I've seen, which is pretty mixed:
In her debut as a musical-theater songwriter, Saliers proves she can write a catchy tune. Still, the 20 or so original songs in the show sometimes blend together in a manner that leaves you feeling like they could be assigned to any character—or perhaps recorded by Saliers and her partner Amy Ray for the next Indigo Girls records. Surprisingly, the song that works seamlessly from a narrative standpoint is a jukebox addition: the popular “Closer to Fine,” which opens the second act. It captures Cyd’s inner turmoil and desire for love in three concise minutes. The rest of the show is frequently close to fine, but not better.
