Synopsis

A gritty, powerful, and vibrant look at street workers in Times Square, The Life is charged with emotionally revealing songs and realistically conflicted characters.

Trapped in their location and situation, Fleetwood, Memphis, Jojo, Sonja, Queen, Mary, and Lou struggle to survive and, maybe, get out.

Cy Coleman’s celebrated jazz and pop-inflected score includes “Use What You Got,” “The Oldest Profession,” “Easy Money,” “My Body,” “Greed” and “My Friend.”
