A developing Goo Goo Dolls jukebox musical will get an industry reading in NYC next month. Written by playwright James Meneses, the work will perform for industry members March 7.
Meneses has taken the band's songs, both chart-topping hits and some deep cuts, and set them to a dystopian sci-fi story that imagines a future world where dreaming has been made illegal. Titled Here Is Gone, the musical currently features such songs as "Name," "Truth Is a Whisper," "Feel the Silence," and "Black Balloon."
The cast will feature Bailee Endebrock (Parade), Sebastian Arroyo (Law and Order), Randall Scott Carpenter (Relapse), and Steve Shoup (The Fantasticks).
Daniella Caggiano is directing the presentation, with music direction by Noah Turner.
