I wanted to share with you that the (Princeton alumni founded) Prospect Theater Company original musical, THE UNDERCLASSMAN, will be playing in NYC on 42nd Street from Nov 9 - 23, 2014 (hopefully we will be able to extend, but for now it's just 16 performances).
This musical is inspired by THIS SIDE OF PARADISE and is about Fitzgerald's college years at Princeton, and his first romance with the debutante Ginevra King, who became the model for Daisy in THE GREAT GATSBY. Please visit www.ProspectTheater.org for full details - tickets will be on sale as of Sept. 9!
Also, we are currently in the midst of an Indiegogo fundraising campaign to support this project! We are currently at 35% of our goal, with 20 days remaining - and we would love to ask for your support! If you are interested in making a tax-deductible contribution, we will be very grateful! There's also a brief video with composer / lyricist Peter Mills '95 talking about the show. Here's the link:
