Out of the Box Theatrics (Liz Flemming, Founding Artistic Director) in association with Bella Vita Entertainment, Dru Margolis, and Red Horse LLC, is pleased to announce the Off-Broadway premiere of Soon, a new musical by Nick Blaemire (Broadway: Glory Days; Off-Broadway: Safety Not Guaranteed, Space Dogs), directed by Will Blum (Broadway: Beetlejuice, The School of Rock - The Musical, The Book of Mormon). The six-week strictly limited engagement begins performances on Wednesday, September 30 at The Loft at St. Luke’s Theatre.
What do you do with the time you have left? While twenty-something Charlie waits for the end of the world, Jonah waits for her to start living. But before time runs out, Charlie must do the hardest thing imaginable: open the front door. Nick Blaemire's Soon is an intimate, indie-pop chamber musical about finding the courage to pursue your dreams in an uncertain world.
Blaemire and Blum are joined by music supervisor Wiley DeWeese (Broadway: The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical, Girl From The North Country) and music director Andy Collopy (Broadway: The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical, The Notebook; National Tour: Oklahoma!). The cast and additional creative team will be announced at a later date.
Soon will appear as part of OOTB’s Loft Series and Custom Work Program. Out of the Box Theatrics’ Loft Season is a new developmental production series that offers artists a vital next step for emerging works and new ideas, providing the opportunity to present and refine their stories in front of New York City audiences. Featuring limited production elements in an intimate and immersive environment, the series embraces a story-first approach that prioritizes artistic development and inspires creative solutions to theatrical storytelling.
Soon was developed and premiered at Signature Theatre in Arlington, VA in 2015. The New York City pilot production was presented at the East Village Basement in October 2025.
