This world premiere is totally delightful... Bryce Pinkham gives a star-making performance as the idiosyncratic Sam.
Times of San Diego
The world was first introduced to the story of Benny and Joon in the classic 1993 movie, which starred a never better Johnny Depp. Now the Old Globe presents the world premiere of the musical adaptation, written by Kirsten Guenther, and boasting a score by Nolan Gasser and Mindi Dickstein. The cast is led by Tony nominee Bryce Pinkham (A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder), Hannah Elless (Bright Star) and Andrew Samonsky (South Pacific)
This quirky love romance centers on auto-mechanic Benny (Samonsky), who has devoted himself to care for his mentally ill sister Joon (Elless). Into their lives come Sam (Pinkham), a lovably eccentric cinephile, who delights in recreating routines from Buston Keaton movies. Sam and Joon soon begin to form a connection, but will Benny be able to let his sister out from under his wing?
Opening night: 7 September 2017
