The creative teams and additional casting have been announced for the four musicals that will be presented at The 24 Hour Musicals at The Gramercy Theatre on February 8 at 7:30pm.

Jeanine Tesori is providing the music and lyrics for You Can See the East River From Here, Too, which will feature a book by Jonathan Bernstein. Ted Sperling will direct a company that will feature Dee Roscioli, John Ellison Conlee, and Katie Thompson. Anti Valentines, with book by Julia Jordan and music and lyrics by Jeff Blumenkrantz, will feature direction by Moisés Kaufman. The company includes Celia Keenan-Bolger, Marnie Schulenburg, Michael Winther, and Zachary Prince.

Jonathan Marc Sherman has penned the book and Adam Gwon has written music and lyrics for The First of His Heart, which will be directed by Trip Cullman and feature Julian Fleisher, Nancy Opel, and Darius DeHaas. The fourth musical, What's Wrong with Twinkie? has a book by Josh Koenigsberg, with music and lyrics by Zina Goldrich and Marcy Heisler. It will be directed by Kathleen Turner and feature Alicia Witt, Cady Huffman, Mo Rocca, and Raven-Symoné.

As the title implies, the entire creative process (including writing, composing, and rehearsing) will take place within a 24 hour period, resulting in four new musicals to be performed for a live audience.
