Seeing You, a new immersive experience, is set to open tonight at a former meat market in the Meatpacking District, underneath the High Line, at 450 West 14th Street. As previously announced, the production will run through August 31.
The piece is described as follows: "Seeing You transports audiences into a memory of not-so-distant wartime anxiety, told through a seductive mix of maximal-impact-choreography and intimate encounters. A truly singular — and unnervingly timely — experience, the music-filled Seeing You unfolds inside a historic expanse underneath the High Line, bringing us disarmingly close to a tight-knit community during WWII suddenly at odds as patriotism gives way to uncertainty and fear."
The cast of Seeing You includes Jesse Kovarsky (Fiddler on the Roof), Heather Lang (An American in Paris), Jodi McFadden (Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark), and Zach McNally (Fiddler on the Roof). Lauren Cox, Aaron Dalla Villa, Christopher Grant, Ted Hannan, Alison Ingelstrom, Eriko Jimbo, Maija Knapp, Nicholas Ranauro, Jay Stuart, and Lauren Yalango-Grant are also featured.
The production is created by Randy Weiner, Ryan Heffington, and Cantora (Will Griggs and Nick Panama), featuring production and costume design by Desi Santiago.
