MCC Theater To Produce Workshop of New Musical HEARTS BEAT LOUD in February 2023

It will be directed by Obie Award winner Whitney White, and feature an original score and lyrics by Niko Tsakalakos, and book by Ngozi Anyanwu.

MCC Theater will produce a four-week development workshop of a new musical, Hearts Beat Loud, to be presented on February 9 & 10, 2023.

Hearts Beat Loud illuminates the power and promise of music to connect us all. Based on the inspiring 2018 indie film set in Red Hook (starring Nick Offerman and Toni Collette), the stage version, directed by Obie Award winner Whitney White (MCC’s soft), will be bold, fresh, and packed with captivating pop/rock music, featuring an original score and lyrics by Niko Tsakalakos (Fall Springs), book by Ngozi Anyanwu (Seven Deadly Sins) and arrangements by Brian Usifer (A Beautiful Noise). Hearts Beat Loud is a powerful new musical about fathers and daughters, music and memory, the inevitability of change and the bravery it takes to embrace it. MCC is producing the workshop in collaboration with Tamar Climan and Paige Price.
