Far From Heaven July 19 – 29 Book by Richard Greenberg A Preview Production Cathy Whitaker seems to be the picture-perfect wife and mother in 1957 suburban Connecticut. But roiling beneath the surface, secret longings and forbidden desires cause her world to unravel — with incendiary consequences. With a lush score that is both jazz-inflected and hauntingly lyrical, Far From Heaven is a powerful story of romance, betrayal, intolerance, and a woman grappling with her own identity in a society on the verge of great upheaval. FAR FROM HEAVEN was commissioned and is supported with generous funds from the Playwrights Horizons Musicals in Partnership Initiative with leadership support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
