Based on the book by Natalie Babbitt, Tuck Everlasting tells the story of Winnie Foster and the Tucks- a family that lives forever. The musical had its world premiere in Atlanta and later moved to Broadway. Despite its heart-warming story, beautiful sets, and gorgeous costumes, Tuck Everlasting simply could not bring in a big enough audience. The show closed after a two-month run. Part of the show’s downfall was that it did not generate enough publicity- it was nominated for only one Tony Award (costume design) and it did not have any big names. Still, the cast featured some incredible talent (Andrew Keenan-Bolger, Carolee Carmello, Terrance Mann) and showcased the amazing voice of 12-year old Sarah Charles Lewis. Give them a listen.
