Our fall season concludes with the world premiere of Welcome to the Big Dipper, a new musical based on a true event (inspired by the play All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go by Catherine Filloux), with music and lyrics by Jimmy Roberts (I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change), book by Catherine Filloux and John Daggett and additional lyrics by Mr. Daggett.
The Big Dipper, an historic inn nestled in Bigelow, New York, near Niagara Falls, has been in Joan Wilkes’s family for decades and is on the brink of closure when a monster blizzard forces two wildly disparate groups of travelers to shelter in place. For three days and nights, within the walls of this sprawling house, secrets are revealed, young love ignites, and lives are changed forever.
Performances are set to begin Thursday, November 21, 2024 at 7:30 p.m. for a 6-week engagement through Sunday, December 29, 2024. Stay tuned for casting announcements and more news soon!
Thank you for your incredible support of our 2023-2024 season! We kicked off the fall with our series of Musicals in Mufti, including How to Steal An Election, the premiere of Barbara Minkus’ 18 Minutes of Fame, The Lieutenant, Golden Rainbow, and our New2NY production of When We Get There. We sold out our annual Oscar Hammerstein Gala, honoring Patti LuPone and Jamie DeRoy. We mounted the New York premiere of The Jerusalem Syndrome as a mainstage production at the Theater at St. Jean’s, and brought A Sign of the Times to New World Stages in collaboration with Richard J. Robin and Wells St. Productions. And we hosted our annual Spring Gala, honoring Liz Callaway.
None of these events would be possible without the stalwart support of our members, patrons, and benefactors. Your ongoing generosity is what allows us to continue in our mission to bring new musicals to life, as well as rediscovering musical gems from the past. All of this has been made possible for more than 50 years because of patrons like yourself.
We are looking forward to an incredible 2024-2025 season! For ongoing announcements and more information on all our coming events, please yorktheatre.org or call the Box Office at (212) 935-5820 today.
