Book by Frank LoesserDescription: Based on the novel by B.J. Chute, GREENWILLOW is the tale of a magical town whose inhabitants see no reason to leave the comforts of home… that is, all the inhabitants save Amos Briggs. For generations, the eldest Briggs men have been cursed with a powerful wanderlust, a "call" that fills their souls and sends them traveling, leaving the ones they love behind them. Determined to stop the curse from passing to the next generation, and despite his love for Dorrie Whitbred, Amos' son Gideon vows never to marry. While the gloomy Reverend Lapp wrestles with the town over their souls, the arrival of Reverend Birdsong encourages the citizens of Greenwillow to trust their hearts, helping Gideon listen to a new "call" and find his way back home for good.
With a lush, romantic score, fine ensemble singing, and a cast of quirky, fablebook characters, GREENWILLOW is a Broadway charmer with opportunities for actors of all ages.Walking Away Whistling: The Heartache of Wandering in GREENWILLOW
