“I am extremely excited about debuting Tuck Everlasting at the Alliance,” said lyricist Nathan Tysen.  “It has been a dream of mine to work there and I can't think of a better place to foster our musical.  The quality and diversity of their work speaks for itself, and their patrons’ interest and enthusiasm has already been overwhelming.”
 
“Nathan & I have wanted to turn Tuck Everlasting into a musical since we met at NYU, and way before that, if you count us dreaming about it separately in our childhoods,” said composer Chris Miller. “As the novel celebrates its 40th year in 2015, I can't wait to share this heartfelt, joyful show with Atlanta audiences.”
 
“I'm so excited about the cast of Tuck Everlasting for the Alliance production,” said director Casey Nicholaw. “It's a great mix of Atlanta and Broadway pros, many of whom have been involved with the production since its inception.  We can't wait to bring it to life here in Atlanta.”
