The Game has a book and lyrics by Eric Kornfeld and music by John McDaniel. It follows Max Epstein, who is small, shy, and knows everything about baseball—except how to play it. When he's forced to stay with the father he barely knows, he gets the chance to try out for America's most famous Little League team and play.
According to Kornfeld, “My daughter brought home a youth baseball league flyer and said, ‘I want to do this.’ I suddenly witnessed how passionate players and their parents could become, and I knew it was the perfect setting for a new musical. I called John McDaniel, who I worked with at The Rosie O’Donnell Show.”
McDaniel added, “I jumped at the chance to write music to Eric's beautiful, funny, and moving story. It’s been a joy to welcome Tom Caruso to the creative team and we are thrilled to present this new show with such an incredible cast.”
The stage manager is Heather Klein. General management is by Visceral Entertainment—Michael Chase Gosselin/Tim Sulka. Casting is by Tara Rubin Casting/Claire Burke, CSA.
