Unexpected Joy is a new musical bursting with contemporary sounds and social currents from Tony® Award nominee Bill Russell and his Elegies for Angels, Punks, and Raging Queens collaborator Janet Hood. Three generations of female singers, long-held family tensions and a week together where change is in the air – Joy, a baby boomer pop star, is visited by her daughter, Rachel and granddaughter Tamara. Rachel is married to a prominent televangelist, so Joy is reluctant to divulge that she’s planning to marry Lou, another singer who happens to be a woman. A week with all four together is bound to lead to tension, laughter, discoveries and happiness that really is unexpected. Let the sparks and music fly!
The reading is produced by The York Theatre Company (James Morgan, Producing Artistic Director and Andrew Levine, Executive Director) and Jim Kierstead (Kinky Boots, Pippin, Yank!).
