It all emerges out of one neighborhood in one of the most unique and powerful cities on earth, New York City. It is about community and relationships and unforgettable people. ‘If/Then’ is a musical story of human life. The staging is pure brilliance; it truly brings the audience in to Manhattan and beyond. It is not ‘like’ New York it is New York and that by itself is true magic. It is a compelling story of evolving relationships with a never ending flow on surprising change. It totally captures and holds you as you watch and feel and live along with its players.
