Grammy and Oscar winner Melissa Etheridge’s new solo show, Melissa Etheridge Off Broadway: My Window–A Journey Through Life, plays 12 performances at Off-Broadway's New World Stages beginning October 13.
My Window is written by Etheridge with additional material by Linda Wallem-Etheridge and direction by Amy Tinkham. Etheridge's hits include “I'm the Only One,” “Come to My Window,” and “I Want to Come Over.”
Playing to an audience of less than 500 per show, Etheridge is offering theatregoers an evening of storytelling and music, from tales of her childhood in Kansas to her groundbreaking career highlights. Performances continue through October 29.
“I am incredibly excited and humbled to debut this deeply personal show in New York this fall,” said Etheridge in an earlier statement. “While I’ve been telling my life stories through my lyrics and concert tours for many years, this is going to be something new for me. I cannot wait to feel the exchange of energy and deep connection that's provided by an intimate theatre experience. That’s going to rock.”
The production also has scenic design by Emmy nominee Bruce Rodgers, lighting design by Abigail Rosen Holmes, projection design by Olivia Sebesky, and sound design by Colle Bustin.
Producers Michael Cohl and EMC Presents, in association with Larry Mestel, Deborah Klein, and Steven Greener for Primary Wave Music, present the limited run.
A statement from the Off-Broadway company's board of directors pledges a future "filled with diversity," and "to continue our long legacy of supporting artists of all backgrounds."
