Hartford Stage presents Floyd and Clea Under the Western Sky, featuring book and lyrics by David Cale, and music by Jonathan Kreisberg and David Cale. Michael Wilson directs.
Once a popular country singer, Floyd Duffner is now down-and-out, living in his car. Enter Clea, a young woman filled with hopes for stardom. Despite a great difference in their ages, they inspire each other to try a new road. David Cale, the Obie Award-winning author who has written songs for such diverse artists as Elvis Costello, Debbie Harry, and The Jazz Passengers, appears in this new musical about a love forged between two lost souls. Produced in collaboration with the Goodman Theatre.
