In This House Premieres at Two River Theater
For the first time ever after a year in the making, In This House debuts to a live audience.
The story is about two couples - one at the beginning of their relationship, the other possibly somewhere near the end - meeting by chance and spending the night together in a deserted house on New Year's Eve. In This House, an intimate new musical developed over the past year through a workshop and writers' retreat at Two River Theater, is currently playing in the Marion Huber Theater.
According to Two River Theater, In This House touches people no matter where they are in their own lives. The universal experience of being loved and being in love, as well as the challenges people must go through in order to navigate their relationships, is explored in the musical.
The musical runs now through April 8, its run having already been extended due to audience demand.

In This House was created by Grammy Award-winning Nashville songwriter and musical theater composer Mike Reid, Sarah Schlesinger and Jonathan Bernstein. The music director is James Sampliner and the show is being directed by May Adrales. The company includes Tony Award-winner Chuck Cooper as well as other Broadway and theater veterans Brenda Pressley, Jeff Kready and Margo Seibert.
"In This House includes what I think are some of the most beautiful and uniquely American songs written for the contemporary musical theater," Two River Theater Company Artistic Director John Dias said in a release. "This show is the fourth collaboration between Mike Reid and Sarah Schlesinger, two artists I have known for many years. I’m thrilled to have them, and their co-writer Jonathan Bernstein, in Red Bank to develop and premiere it. Director May Adrales has assembled an exquisite cast and a fantastic design team, who will bring our audiences inside the intimacy of this generations-spanning story."
