Press release

(New York, NY) Tuesday, January 9th, 2024 – Abingdon Theatre Company (Chad Austin, Producing Artistic Director) is thrilled to announce the casting of their next Broadway on the Bowery event, a concert performance of Divided, a new musical composed by Kristen Rosenfeld with book and lyrics by Luanne Rosenfeld. The performance will be directed by Jim Cooney with musical direction by Robbie Cowan.

Divided is about the journey of two friends across decades, miles, and a country divided. Refusing to be defined by societal constraints, Eleanor and Hanna strive for personal freedom amidst a backdrop of hatred, lies, loss, and war. Taking place pre and post Civil War, the story of Divided spans from Mississippi to Boston, following Eleanor and Hanna, who are separated by society, but forever bonded through their bravery. On a journey that takes them both far from home, they wonder if they will ever be reunited again.
Chad Austin states, “I am honored to continue Abingdon's mission of shining a light on emerging and established artists by showcasing the work of Divided. I am grateful for the incredible collaborators coming together to bring our audiences a glimpse of what is to come from the creators of this powerful story.”
