A MORNING IN NEW YORK, 1974
a musical in two acts
Music, Book, and Lyrics by Natalie Rebecca Lovejoy
"First you think it,
Then you want it,
Then you dream it,
Then confront it.
You keep at it
'Til you've done it.
You might fear it as you go,
But nothing is impossible..."
~ A Morning in New York, 1974
About
A Morning in New York, 1974 tells the story that led up to the morning of August 7, 1974 when French wire-walker Philippe Petit performed his high-wire act between the twin towers of the World Trade Center - over 1,300 feet high, without a net - and the lives that were changed as a result.
The show received a staged reading in New York in 2015 and awaits further development.
