Rooms, a rock romance at New World Stages

Van Hill Entertainment presents Rooms, a rock romance, starring Leslie Kritzer and Doug Kreeger, opening at New World Stages/Stage 2 on 16 Mar 2009, following previews from 27 Feb 2009.

The musical has score and lyrics by Paul Scott Goodman ('Bright Lights Big City') and book by Goodman and Miriam Gordon, and will be directed by Scott Schwartz ('Golda�s Balcony,' 'Bat Boy: The Musical,' 'tick, tick� BOOM!,' 'Jane Eyre') and choreographed by Matt Williams.

Rooms, a rock romance begins in 1970s Glasgow where Monica, an ambitious singer/songwriter meets Ian, a reclusive rocker. The two quickly become entangled creatively and romantically. Their music takes them first to London and ultimately to New York City, where they discover the vibrant new music scene and create an intimate partnership, their love deepening while their personalities drive them apart. A five-piece rock band accompanies these two characters as they search for the balance between ambition and happiness.

Rooms, a rock romance will have scenic design by Adam Koch, costume design by Alejo Vietti, lighting design by Herrick Goldman and sound design by Jonathan Weston.

The musical had its World Premiere as a co-production between MetroStage in Alexandria, VA and Geva Theatre Center in Rochester, NY after a showcase as part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF) in 2005.
