The show opens at 59e59's Theatre A on the 13 Apr 2011, following previews from 5 Apr, and runs through to 8 May 2011.

Love song: Beane is an exile from life - an oddball. His well-meaning sister, Joan, and brother-in- law, Harry, try and make time for him in their busy lives, but no one can get through. Following a burglary on Beane's apartment, Joan is baffled to find her brother blissfully happy and tries to unravel the story behind his mysterious new love, Molly.

The cast features Ian Barford, Laura Latreille, Andrew Pastides and Zoe Winters.

The design team includes Ji-Youn Chang (set and lighting designer), Deborah Newhall (costume designer), Scott Killian (sound design) and Mary Fritz (props).

Love song premiered at Steppenwolf in Chicago in the spring of 2006, directed by Austin Pendelton. It then went to the West End, where it was nominated for an Olivier Award for best new comedy. The London production was directed by John Crowley, and starred Neve Campbell, Cillian Murphy, Kristen Johnston and Michael McKean. Love song has been produced in Melbourne, Sydney, Wellington, Seoul and Rome.

Love song is produced Off-Broadway by Jaimie Mayer Phinney/Don't Eat The Pictures Productions in association with Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater.
