Max Vernon’s new musical is directed by Scott Ebersold.
Rehearsals have begun for The View UpStairs, a new musical by Max Vernon. The work will begin an off-Broadway run at Culture Project's Lynn Redgrave Theater on February 15, with opening night set for February 28.
The work follows a young fashion designer who buys an abandoned space that used to be a vibrant gay bar in the French Quarter of New Orleans, "setting off an exhilarating journey of seduction and self-exploration that spans two generations of queer history."
