                                                       me of the musicals I grew up on. It was a book driven, very funny, original score...
                                                       A Musical Comedy. It was so refreshing. Then on top of all that, this is a musical                                         SETTING: New York City and Edgewater, Indiana
                                              about something that’s relevant today. A good friend of mine asked me why I picked this
                                              show. I said, “Because it’s important and I care about the future.” The meaning for me is
                                              summed up in the second act, in the script on page 92, when Trent and the kids discuss

                                              what there is in life that we don’t control. I guess you would call it fate. There are dots in our   “Changing Lives” .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  . DEE DEE ALLEN, BARRY GLICKMAN, ENSEMBLE

                                              a spiritual person, it really moved me. I was drawn to a scene in the Netflix movie, by a grove      “Changing Lives” (Reprise) .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  . DEE DEE ALLEN, BARRY GLICKMAN,

                                              The cherry blossom is a Japanese tree that blooms once a year for a few short weeks and then
                                              the blooms die. In Japan this has come to represent how beautiful, yet short life is and how         “It’s Not About Me” .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  . DEE DEE ALLEN, BARRY GLICKMAN,
