Broadway's first a cappella musical coming this fall

Thank Pitch Perfect: Broadway is getting its first a cappella musical, In Transit, this fall.

The show, with a book, music and lyrics co-written by Frozen's Kristen Anderson-Lopez and vocal arrangements by Deke Sharon (Pitch Perfect, NBC’s The Sing-Off), was originally staged back in 2010, where it received a Drama Desk nod for Best Musical. 

In Transit “is a new, modern musical bringing to life a vivid tapestry of characters and music in the city that never sleeps…or stands still," per a press statement. "Inspired by the vibrant rhythms of life on the subway, In Transit follows the intertwining lives of eleven New Yorkers, all hoping to catch the express train to success, love and happiness…and the stops they make along the way."

The production will be directed and choreographed by three-time Tony winner Kathleen Marshall (Anything Goes, Nice Work If You Can Get It) and is set to open later this year at Broadway's Circle in the Square theater, where the Tony-winning musical Fun Home will play its final performance in September.
