New Off-Broadway musical by NYU-SCPS screenwriting teacher Michael Zam
What happens when a gay couple tries to have a child? A new musical comedy, The Kid, tells the whole funny, heartwarming tale. Written by longtime NYU-SCPS adjunct professor Michael Zam, the play is based on a true story about sex columnist Dan Savage and his boyfriend.
Winner of the 2009 BMI Foundation Jerry Bock Award for Excellence in Musical Theatre, the show opens Off Broadway on May 9th at The Acorn@Theatre Row (410 West 42nd Street) in New York, presented by The New Group.
