Raissa Katona Bennett, Carl Danielsen, Ritt Henn, Mary Liz McNamara, Sierra Rein, Tracy Sallows, and James A. Stephens will be featured in the Musical Mondays on Theatrical Thursdays presentation of The Good Girl, at the Jerry Orbach Theater in the Snapple Theater Center, on Thursday, October 28 at 6:30pm. Lucie Tiberghien will direct, with musical direction by Annie Lebeaux.

Featuring music and lyrics by Mary Liz McNamara, the musical tells the story of a conscientious, middle-aged, middle-school math teacher who finally jumpstarts her long-idled love life moments before her mother drops dead, leaving her to care for her father. And then her mother sings to her from a jazz club in the great beyond. The book is by McNamara and Arden Kass.

Musical Mondays’ next new musical preview will be Yo, Vikings! on Thursday, November 18, at 6:30pm, based on the book by best-selling author Judith Byron Schachner, and the real-life adventure that inspired it with music by Sam Willmott and book and lyrics by Marcus Stevens.
