The previously announced off-Broadway revue Make Me a Song: The Music of William Finn will be postponed until the 2007-2008 theater season, due to unspecified scheduling conflicts. Conceived and directed by Rob Ruggiero, the show was scheduled to begin previews on April 6 and to open on April 19 at The Zipper Theatre.
Make Me a Song had its world premiere production in August 2006 at TheaterWorks in Hartford, CT. The production, directed by Ruggiero, featured Sandy Binion, Joe Cassidy, Adam Heller, Sally Wilfert and John DiPinto on piano.
A two-time Tony Award winner for the groundbreaking musical Falsettos, Finn is currently represented on Broadway with The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. Make Me a Song features classics from these shows as well as selections from Romance in Hard TimesElegies and the yet-to-be-produced The Royal Family.
