WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Transport Group presents the world premiere musical Marcy in the Galaxy, featuring music and lyrics by Nancy Shayne. It is based on a story by Michael Patrick King and Nancy Shayne.
Jack Cummings III directs.
With music by one of New York's most idiosyncratic composers and a book by the Emmy Award-winning writer of HBO's Sex and the City, Marcy in the Galaxy is a funny, dark musical glimpse at what happens to a woman whose dream of being a New York artist takes longer to come true than she had planned. At mid-life, Marcy finds herself alone in The Galaxy Diner out of money and almost out of hope. What ensues is a humorous and poignant self-examination that explores dreams, disappointment, family, first love, and delicious diner desserts.
Transport Group is the winner of a special 2007 Drama Desk Award.

For many people, New Year's Day is something of a mixed blessing: not only is it a time of new beginnings, it can be a day filled with retrospection and regrets about the past. In Nancy Shayne's engaging tuner, Marcy in the Galaxy, being presented by Transport Group at the Connelly Theatre, a trio of characters converge on a Manhattan diner on January 1, filled precisely with these conflicted feelings.
Marcy (Donna Lynne Champlin), a painter from Detroit on the verge of 40 and still awaiting some sort of recognition for her work, has the most on her plate. The first anniversary of her father's death is approaching and she's unsure about returning home for the unveiling of the memorial st[...]
