Happiness: Tickets are now on sale to the general public

Tickets are now on sale to the general public for Lincoln Center Theater's upcoming production of the new musical Happiness, playing at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater from 27 Feb to 7 Jun 2009.

Commissioned and developed by Lincoln Center Theater, Happiness, book by John Weidman, music by Scott Frankel, lyrics by Michael Korie and direction and choreography by Susan Stroman, tells the story of a disparate group of New Yorkers caught on a subway train under unusual circumstances.

The production reunites director-choreographer Susan Stroman and book writer John Weidman, whose last LCT collaboration was the Tony Award-winning Best Musical 'Contact' (2000), and marks the LCT debuts of composer Scott Frankel and lyricist Michael Korie.

Happiness will star Fred Applegate, Sebastian Arcelus, Miguel Cervantes, Hunter Foster, Joanna Gleason, Ken Page, Robert Petkoff, Jenny Powers, Phyllis Somerville and Pearl Sun.

The production will also feature Ana Maria Andricain, Holly Ann Butler, Patrick Cummings, Jane Dickinson, Alan Green, Samantha Maza, James Moye, Alessa Neeck, Eric Santagata, Rob Sapp, Alexander Scheitinger, Lina Silver, Idara Victor and Matt Wall.

The creative team features sets by Thomas Lynch, costumes by William Ivey Long, lighting by Donald Holder, sound design by Scott Lehrer, orchestrations by Bruce Coughlin and musical direction by Eric Stern.
