The York Theatre Company continues its 2017/18 Season with the New York Premiere of the rousing new musical UNEXPECTED JOY, with book and lyrics by Tony nominated Bill Russell (Side Show) and music by Janet Hood (Elegies for Angels, Punks, and Raging Queens).
Family. Love. Understanding. Unexpected Joy is the story of three generations of female singers, long-held family tensions and a week together where change is in the air. In modern day Cape Cod, Joy, a baby boomer and proud hippie, is holding a memorial concert for the other half of her popular musical duo, Jump & Joy. When her conservative daughter and her rebellious granddaughter arrive from Oklahoma, the sparks fly as one family seeks to find the common ground in their different values, dreams and goals.
Unexpected Joy tackles tolerance, family ties, and the battles we fight to create our own identity. This new musical is a heartfelt and hilarious story that weaves folk-rock, pop, and blues in uniting a family that hasn’t experienced true joy together for decades.

With our world's current preoccupation with war, its shadowy aftermaths and so much being written in the press about it, a war play could very well be an unwelcome addition to the fall lineup.

It is far superior to others of its kind because it takes a very personal approach and relays joy as well as sorrow, making it a real unexpected surprise. Now at the Geffen, the play which originated at the Goodman in Chicago and the Manhattan Theatre Club in New York, has a marvelous cast, is splendidly directed and relates a truly optimistic perspective on
