New Musicals at 54: 17 Again by Michael Weiner, Alan Zachary & Marco Pennette

Life doesn’t always work out the way we want, or expect it to. What would happen if you could turn back the clock to a younger version of yourself and start over? 17 Again — a new musical based on the popular 2009 film starring Zac Efron and Matthew Perry — tells the story of a married 35 year-old man who fears his best days have passed him by, until he mysteriously wakes up as a seventeen year-old high school basketball star with the chance to rewrite the future he believes he was meant to have.
