From one of musical theatre's most exciting new composers comes Ordinary Days, a refreshingly honest and funny musical about making real connections in the city that never sleeps (but probably should at some point).    

It is set in New York City and centres around four main characters: Claire who is wrestling with the aftermath of a previous relationship, Jason, Claire’s boyfriend, who is struggling to define their current relationship, Deb, a feisty, take-no-prisoners graduate student who is scrapping her way at completing her thesis only to lose her notes on the subway, and Warren, a quirky, sometimes annoyingly optimistic “gopher” to an artist who is currently incarcerated for painting inspirational graffiti on multiple buildings in the city.

Ordinary Days is a heartfelt and moving sung through musical that beautifully captures the extraordinary moments hidden within everyday life.  As these four characters flounder through all-too-familiar everyday obstacles, they slowly edge closer to connecting with each other—and to understanding that an ordinary event can have extraordinary effects.

My name is Warren
It's another day out here in the Metropolis and I'm employed as an ambassador for a very, very influential downtown artist, who's been featured in the New York Times.  This guy, he is a genius, he paints these pithy saying all across the city but then he got arrested, cause I guess it is illegal.
And he has hired me to watch his cat

My name is Deb
I grew up in the middle of nowhere, lived in a Cul de sac that's literally a road that goes nowhere, the definition of a dead end. I can’t wait to learn, to do a three-point turn because I really don’t want to be here...
Graduate top of my class (thank you).  And since I’m a dork, I’ve moved to New York and started Grad School...I really don’t want to be here

My name is Jason
Fourteen blocks I walk every single day, Claire lives so far away. I get to her place and say, we’ve been together a year, wouldn’t it be genius if I lived right here?
I buzz her door, and flash her my sexy grin, and the next thing you know I’m moving in. 
This is her apartment and filled with all her stuff...where do I put my shoes?

My name is Claire
I’ve got out of date planners and dog-eared posters, and I think “What in God’s name was I keeping these for”.  My boyfriend’s moving in, that’s how I begin. Now I really need the space, so I have to clean this place.  I’ve been petrified to see what’s been kept inside these chests and drawers and you can’t let them go.  I should have done this years ago. Where is he going to put his shoes?
