Jake David Smith will perform with Arielle Jacobs during a sneak preview of the upcoming musical Between the Lines August 5 as part of New York Theatre Barn's New Works Series.
Smith replaces the previously reported Jason Gotay; in May, Smith stepped into the role of Prince Oliver after Gotay had to step away when the production was pushed to 2021.
New Works Series showcases two musicals currently in development every Wednesday at 7 PM ET on YouTube.
Based on the novel by Jodi Picoult and her daughter Samantha van Leer, Between the Lines features music and lyrics by Kate Anderson and Elyssa Samsel and a book by Timothy Allen McDonald.
