Join us on Sunday, August 16 at 9:30pm at Feinstein's/54 Below in NYC for a very special event featuring songs from RISING IN LOVE:
ABOUT OUR SHOW
What's The Show About?
Rising in Love is the modern day coming-of-age story about engaged interracial Jewish couple Rosie and Scott, their fears and anxieties surrounding their upcoming marriage, and the friends and family who help them learn what it takes to rise in love.
What's The Musical Like?!
If you combined Cole Porter, The Fantasticks, and Avenue Q, you would get this playful and lovable new musical with beautifully lyrical and singable music that explores growth, compromise, relationships, communication, and what it means to grow up and find love in 2019.

The Back Story
Since she was a teenager, songwriter, composer, and lyricist Rory Michelle Sullivan has created art that helps people access healthier ways of relating. Her high school music theory project became one of the songs for the musical, beginning Rory Michelle’s career in writing fun, authentic, sincere, and alive music that speaks to the heart. With the addition of Moira Lo Bianco’s brilliant harmonies and arrangements, Jonathan Shanes' inspired composing, plus Anna Jastrzembski’s keen eye for playwriting, the musical Rising in Love has grown up from a collection of Rory Michelle’s songs to a project with a life of its own.
Be a Part of It
This is a critical juncture in the lifecycle of Rising in Love. Where we are now - the development phase - is where the work is created, workshopped, revised, and reworked until it is ready for a full production. Your support today will enable us to take the next major steps – completing revisions to the script and score and getting the show ready for its first fully staged production.
