Synopsis:
Going Under is a new musical that explores connection through a group of high schoolers en route to their graduation. When the subway they are riding comes to a screeching halt, these former friends are cut off from the world above, forced to put down their electronic devices and face each other, their own demons, and the tragic event that tore them apart four years earlier. With an array of endearing characters and a diverse collection of songs, this ensemble musical with book by Matt Murray, music by Colleen Dauncey, and lyrics by Akiva Romer-Segal, is perfect for high school and adult audiences alike!
