‘Somewhere With You’ Takes On The Big Apple

By: Laura Hostelley

For the first time, modern-day Nashville will be represented in Manhattan’s theater circuit when the New York Musical Theater Festival presents Somewhere With You July 8-13.

Written by Peter Zinn, the work features music from Country songwriter JT Harding. Harding’s chart-topping “Somewhere With You” (Kenny Chesney), “Alone With You” (Jake Owen) and “Smile” (Uncle Kracker) help tell the coming-of-age love story, which centers around a young Country singer (played by Graham Scott Fleming) growing up in the South confronted by drugs, the War in Iraq, and other post 9/11 challenges.

The 1 hour and 40 minute production runs for five shows at The Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre in New York City. Tickets are available from $25.
