Sleepless – A Musical Romance
SLEEPLESS is written by Michael Burdette with music and lyrics by new British writers Robert Scott and Brendan Cull. The jazz-inspired score is played by a 12-piece orchestra.
The musical tells the heart-warming tale of Sam, who moves to Seattle with his eight year-old son, Jonah, following the tragic death of his wife. When Jonah phones a radio show, Sam is forced to talk about his broken heart and sleepless nights live on air, and he suddenly finds himself one of the most sought after single men in America and a great news story for feisty journalist Annie on the opposite side of the country. Can Jonah bring the two together on the top deck of the Empire State Building on, appropriately, Valentines Day?
Based on the original screenplay "Sleepless in Seatttle".
