Laura Osnes to Lead Workshop of Broadway-Bound Somewhere in Time

Tony nominee and Broadway.com Audience Choice Award winner Laura Osnes will star in an upcoming workshop presentation of Somewhere in Time, the Broadway-bound musical based on the Richard Matheson novel and film of the same name. The tuner features music by Doug Katsaros, lyrics by Amanda Yesnowitz and a book by Ken Davenport. Dan Knechtges will direct and choreograph. The workshop performances are set to take place on February 13, 2015.

Osnes made her Broadway debut in Grease, and has since starred in South Pacific, Anything Goes, Bonnie and Clyde and Cinderella. She also appeared in the off-Broadway revival of The Threepenny Opera and the Encores! concert production of Faust earlier this year. Additional casting will be announced later.

Somewhere in Time follows Richard Collier, a young playwright who has an encounter with a mysterious old woman on the opening night of his earliest success. Several years later, he checks in to a storied hotel from his youth. But his stay turns into a journey of a lifetime as he unravels history to discover a powerful (but perhaps impossible) love with Elise McKenna (Osnes), an elusive and captivating actress from the early twentieth century.

The musical received its world premiere in May of 2013 at Oregon's Portland Center Stage. The Scott Schwartz-helmed production starred Andrew Samonsky, Hannah Elless, Marc Kudisch and David Cryer.
