In Permission, Bartha and Reaser play Eric and Cyndy, respectively, a couple who have decided to follow the example of their friends and make the real-life practice of Christian Domestic Discipline the foundation of their marriage. "But restructuring their lives and their union according to role play and a new moral code upends everything they knew--and took for granted--about one another, their friends, and more importantly, who really holds the power," state press notes.
Based on the 1985 film, the musical centers on teenager Marty McFly when he is accidentally transported back to 1955 in a time-traveling DeLorean invented by Dr. Emmett Brown.
