“On the verge of turning 40, Elizabeth moves to New York City, the ultimate city of
possibility, intent on a fresh start - new home, new friends, and hopes for a resurgent career.
But even in her carefully planned new life, the smallest decision or most random occurrence
will impact her world in ways she never dreamt possible. Set against the ever-shifting
landscape of modern day Manhattan, If/Then is a romantic and original new musical
about how choice and chance collide and how we learn to love the fallout.”
Director Stafford Arima has carved out quite a niche for himself taking musicals once left on the shelf and dusting them off for a new audience (see: last year’s Carrie The Musical revamp). Now it’s Bare’s turn to get the Arima treatment. The rock musical that started as a “pop opera” in 2001 is now a book musical; additional tunes have been added to its pop-rock score by Damon Intrabartolo and Jon Hartmere (the additional composer is Lynne Shankel). Taylor Trensch and Jason Hite star as two teens who fall in love at a Catholic boarding school. (New World Stages, 340 W. 50th St., btwn. 8th & 9th Aves.

After nearly three years, 1,166 performances and four Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Memphis will close on Broadway. It currently stars Adam Pascal and original cast member Montego Glover as a white radio DJ and a black soul singer who come together over their shared passion for music and, in turn, fall in love amid the racial tension brewing in the segregated south of the 1950s. Featuring the rock- and blues-infused score of Bon Jovi’s David Bryan (composer) and Joe DiPietro (the lyricist who also wrote the book) and direction by Christopher Ashley. (Shubert Theatre, 225 W. 44th St., btwn. Broadway & 8th Ave., info/tickets.)
