A Woman of Will Pushes Back Previews by Two Days

Amanda McBroom and Joel Silberman's musical A Woman of Will, starring McBroom, has pushed its first preview back by two days "due to technical reasons," according to a production spokesperson. The show will now begin its run at the Daryl Roth Theatre on September 17.

A Woman of Will, which was then titled Lady Macbeth Sings the Blues, had its world premiere production at the Rubicon Theatre in Ventura, California in June 2004. The show tells the tale of a writer in crisis. Hired to finish the lyrics of a Broadway-bound musical version of The Merchant of Venice, Kate faces the demands of an unrelenting deadline in addition to important decisions about her marriage and future. In desperation, she reaches out to Shakespeare's leading ladies for guidance.

A Woman of Will, directed by Silberman, is still scheduled to officially open on October 2.
