We had some time between auditions, so here’s a super special sneak peek at one of the songs in Take the Lead!
Music and Lyrics co-written by Elliah Heifetz and Zeniba Now.
Stay tuned to see who we’ll cast to sing this song (and the rest of this incredible score)! #PMPTakeTheLead will play Mar 29–April 27.
Beyond honored to get to watch the unmatched talent that is @ashleyparklady sing the hell out of “Ruins” in the season finale of @emilyinparis on @netflix - a song I was lucky enough to co-write with @freddywexler ! Freddy is a songwriter’s songwriter, someone who puts as much heart into every note as he does craft and patience. And only Ashley could have sung it with such power and grace. Can’t believe I got to be a part of it! Watch it now and listen on any platform you use :) #ruins
sometimes I feel like being a theatre composer is a test of just how long my own delusions will hold up. YEARS go by, holed up in your apartment writing and rewriting with seemingly no end in sight.
but that’s because a good musical takes years to get right - and moments like this, when you finally get to show your weird secret little project to the world, make it all worth it. and I truly believe what we’re making with Take the Lead has been worth every minute it’s taken to get here.
so so deeply proud to be having my first-ever major regional production with this incredible team and this incredible show. thank you to @evarprice and @dianenabatoff for believing I could actually pull this off, to @zenibanow for being the best collaborator and co-composer/lyricist a human being could ask for, to @cgattelli@jenniferwebernyc@maria.torres.official@robert.cary1 and @jontolins for being the definition of a dream team, and to @papermillplayhouse for having us. everyone come see Take the Lead next march/april!!!
As part of the celebration of the release of his new album #firstgenerationamerican, @eheifetz will perform a benefit show for TIN live on @stageit Tuesday night! Hear songs off the new album + bid on prizes that include a masterclass in dad jokes 🤣 Get your tix at the link in bio
