New musical Open, Stay will receive a special industry-only pop-up presentation September 5 and 6.

Presented via Off the Lane’s ColLab program, in partnership with Uproar Theatrics and LDK Productions, the presentation is the next step for the viral musical, which has already obtained more than 1 million views on TikTok and more than 220,000 streams on Spotify.

Featuring music and lyrics by Anna DeNoia, with arrangements and orchestrations by Joshua Villa and original book by Kyle Holmes, Open, Stay is set in the Kismet Café, where private and public moments converge as a day of human connection is captured. Featuring five characters, the musical will next be staged in coffee shops across the country as an immersive and intimate pop-up.

The New York presentation cast will include Sophie Brubaker (Hootenanny Tonight!), Xavier Cornell (The Voice), Olivia Rose Hellman (Catharsis), Malia McLellan (Urinetown), Natalie Myrick (Tarzan), and Lison Tunick (Pump Up the Volume).

The New York presentation will feature direction by Mindy Cooper, music direction by Graham Sobelman, choreography by Ephrat Asherie, and vocal direction with additional arrangements by George Luton. Casting is by Stephanie Klapper Casting, with Marissa Councill as the stage manager and general management by LDK Productions.
