The York Theatre Company will present the Off-Broadway premiere of new musical A Sign of the Times. Featuring the songs of Petula Clark, Lesley Gore, Dusty Springfield, and other 1960s hits, the musical will play New World Stages beginning February 7, 2024 with an official opening night on February 22.

A Sign of the Times had its world premiere in at Goodspeed Musicals’ Norma Terris Theatre, before heading to the Delaware Theatre Company in 2018, where it had a sold-out run. An industry reading was held in NYC last month.

With a book by Lindsey Hope Pearlman, the work is based on an original story by Richard J. Robin, following one young woman in the center of the pivotal decade of the 1960s, as the Vietnam war raged on, women fought for liberation, and culture shifted rapidly. Casting will be announced in the coming weeks. Gabriel Barre will direct.

A Sign of the Times will feature choreography by JoAnn M. Hunter, music direction and orchestrations by Joseph Church, set design by Evan Adamson, costume design by Johanna Pan, lighting design by Tony Award winner Ken Billington, sound design by Shannon Slaton, and projection design by Brad Peterson. Casting is by JZ Casting.
