WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Playwrights Horizons presents the New York Premiere of Floyd and Clea Under the Western Sky, a new musical with book and lyrics by two-time Obie Award winner David Cale and music by acclaimed jazz guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg and Mr. Cale. Lortel Award winner Joe Calarco directs.
It's a freewheeling musical journey from Montana to Austin (with a side trip to Hollywood) when a burnt out former Country & Western star (Cale) joins forces with a 20 year-old free spirit with an electrifying voice (Faber). Their meeting and unlikely friendship, and the musical partnership that arises from it, form a tale of sweet heartbreak - a parable about finding the strength, against all odds, to keep on keepin' on.

In previous works, such as Lillian and Betwixt, Obie Award-winner David Cale has shown a penchant for finely detailed and at times off-kilter observations of lives that at first may not seem so extraordinary. In his new musical, Floyd and Clea Under the Western Sky at Playwrights Horizons, the writer/performer seems poised to continue this study. However, this disappointing work only intermittently capitalizes on its promise. In fact, the show could do with more quirkiness and less sentimentality.
The two-hander, which features book and lyrics by Cale and music by Cale and Jonathan Kreisberg, follows the unlikely friendship between Floyd (Cale), a down-and-out alcoholic singer-songwriter li[...]
