Perfect Harmony will resume performances at the Acorn Theatre on Theatre Row beginning October 21. The show’s official opening will be October 27. The change of venue for the musical was necessitated after the production was locked out of its home at the 45 Bleecker Street theater complex.

The musical is written by Andrew Grosso and The Essentials and has been directed by Grosso. It focuses on a fictional all-male high school a cappella group that has won 17 national championships and the all-girl group that are their perennial rivals.

The company features Dana Acheson (Melody McDaniels), Faryl Amadeus (Valerie Smooter), Clayton Apgar (Jasper Mergh), Marie-France Arcilla (Kerri Taylor/Tobi McClintoch), David Barlow (Simon Depardieu/Goran Dhiardeaubovic), Kate Morgan Chadwick (Michaela Dhiardeaubovic/Kiki Tune), Jarid Faubel (JB Smooter), Kobi Libii (Phillip Fellows V), Kelly McCreary (Meghan Beans), and Robbie Collier Sublett (Lassiter A. Jayson III).

The creative team includes Nick Francone (scenic design), Becky Lasky (costume design), and Brian M. Jones (lighting design). Ray Bailey and Adam Wachter provide vocal arrangements and serve as musical directors.
