Ordinary Days
Music & Lyrics By Adam Gwon
Directed by Kristin Netzband
Associate Director Alex Stroming
Music Direction by Heidi Herczeg
Streaming April 9 - 11, 2021
Ordinary Days tells the story of four young New Yorkers whose lives intersect as they search for fulfillment, happiness, love, and cabs. Through a score of vibrant and memorable songs, their experiences ring startlingly true to life. Ordinary Days is an original musical for anyone who's ever struggled to appreciate the simple things in a complex place. With equal doses of humor and poignancy, it celebrates how 8.3 million individual stories combine in unexpected ways to make New York City such a unique and extraordinary home.
ALL ROLES are available. Characters are as follows:
Claire, Soprano, 30s: Claire is embarking on a new stage of her life with boyfriend Jason. The decision to share an apartment is the catalyst for Claire to face her past. CW: Grief related to 9/11.
Jason, Tenor, 30s: Jason is the boyfriend of Claire. A romantic at heart, he spends the bulk of the musical attempting to further his relationship, at first by moving in (‘The Spaces Between’) and then by proposing. Claire consistently resists his attempts leading to the central conflict of their story arc (‘Fine’).
Deb, Mezzo Mid-20s: Deb is a cynical and defensive grad student who is struggling to find focus in her life. She meets struggling artist Warren when he finds her thesis notes in the street.
Warren, Tenor, Mid-20s: The cheerful and sometimes annoyingly optimistic Warren sees beauty in the simple things in life, delivering the musical’s message and final number (‘Beautiful’).
