Here I Am, a new musical by Samantha Roberts and Christian Cantrell, will play Off-Broadway at AMT Theater in Spring 2024. Previews for the production will begin March 1, 2024, ahead of a March 8 opening night.
The modern love story is centered around social media, and the effect it has on interpersonal relationships and our self conception. Featuring an original book and score by Roberts and Cantrell, arrangements by Roberts, music supervision and orchestration by Cantrell, and direction by Roberts; the production is a true labor of two. Additional creative team members will be announced at a later date.
The cast will feature Roberts (Forget I Said Anything) as Scarlett, Jack Baugh (The Office: A Musical Parody) as Spencer, Cedrick Ekra (Powerline Road/ART) as Kyle, and SLee (Stranger Sings!) as Camryn, . Rounding out the ensemble will be Melody Munitz (American Girl: Live!), Alexis Nwokoji, Jasmyn Johnson, Ebony Nixon, Christian Melhuish, T Anthony (SLACabaret: Down the Rabbit Hole), and Nikolai Granados.
In celebration of the Off-Broadway run, Roberts and Cantrell will be releasing music from Here I Am on all major streaming platforms November 10.
“We are so excited to share this important story with the world!” says Roberts. "Here I Am is a story of many things, but most importantly, it is about redemption and forgiveness. Who is redeemable and deserving of love? Here I Am is beautiful, funny, dark, universal, and timely in an age of instant gratification.”
