The Big V-Day Cabaret at BSC
[PITTSFIELD, Mass.] Celebrate Valentine’s Day with The Big V-Day Cabaret at Barrington Stage Company (BSC), featuring a cast of four singing twenty new songs of love—in all its variations. Directed by BSC artistic director Julianne Boyd with music direction by Darren R. Cohen, the cabaret is a collection of songs written by participants in the BSC Musical Theatre Lab. “I’m Burnin’ This Here Trailer to the Ground “ by Mike Pettry, “The Avalanche Song” by Vadim Feichtner and Jeremy Desmon, and “Mother Loves Her Son” by Sam Salmond and Will Aronson are just a few of the song titles that promise an evening of sweetness, passi
on, humor, dysfunction, and even a little craziness.“Having just celebrated five years of our acclaimed Musical Theatre Lab, working with over sixty writers, composers, and lyricists, we (Bill Finn and I) asked them to write a song about love and its various vicissitudes,” said Boyd. “We’re thrilled to present these new songs as the Musical Theatre Lab writers share their version of the perfect Valentine's Day song: funny, serious, loving, not-so-loving, and outrageous!”

Among the writers from the Musical Theatre Lab whose songs are included in The Big V-Day Cabaret are Jill Abramovitz, Gaby Alter, Will Aronson, Jeremy Desmon, Vadim Feichtner, Kirsten Guenther, Anna Jacobs, Alana Jacoby, Laura Kleinbaum, Salomon Lerner, Dan Lipton, Bill Nelson, Ryan Scott Oliver, Willem Oosthuysen, Michael Pettry, Zachary Redler, David Rossmer, Samuel Salmond, Joy Son, and Niko Tsakalakos.
