The Hidden Sky
January 30-February 28, 2010
West End Theatre
Prospect produced the NYC premiere of The Hidden Sky. This multi-award-winning musical tells the story of Ganil, a young woman whose longing for knowledge leads her on a passionate journey of discovery. As she risks her life in pursuit of truth, a series of devastating events forces her to make a profound leap into the unknown. Featuring a soaring, eclectic score with lush ensemble singing, The Hidden Sky is a mythical tale of aspiration, awakening, and the indomitable human spirit.
“Peter Foley’s intricately thematic, deeply impassioned, evocative score with its haunting melodies, sweeping choral moments and driving undercurrents, captures the heart in an instant. But its most compelling quality is how precisely it captures the complex spirit of the story, from its poetic lyrics right down to the details in the orchestrations… Fearlessly intelligent…. a beautiful, provocative musical.” - CurtainUp
“Joyful, engaging and intelligent.” - Broadway World

Prospect produced the NYC premiere of Once Upon A Time in New Jersey, featuring “an Italian-American fairy tale set in 1956 Hoboken. Vinnie LoBianco (Perlman), an unassuming sandwich-maker, is in love with counter girl Angie Moscato (Heelan). But Angie’s got it bad for Rocco (Cohen), the local hunk, whose sights are set on sexy dance teacher Celeste (LeFrere). When Rocco runs afoul of Celeste’s husband Billy (Gregg), the result is a series of hilarious misunderstandings and madcap misadventures.”
