Theatreroo's Honeyland the Musical is receiving EXCELLENT REVIEWS and the cast and crew are elated.
“Honeyland” Is A Fabulous, Highly Entertaining Show
October 15, 2024
“Honeyland” now playing at The Triad Theater (158 West 72nd Street, New York), through November 2nd, is a highly entertaining, fabulous show that has woven some resounding musical numbers with a story about 4 friends, being “60’s people,” amidst those turbulent times.

I cite the young, truly magnetic foursome that comprise the cast. Three are making their Off-Broadway debuts and all three plus “veteran” Abby Goldberg (she appeared in Dear Mom, I’m Gay last summer) showed poise and presence, to go along with their considerable talent.

The three performers, making their Off-Broadway debuts are Anika Buchanan, Jacob Higdon and Ben James Tyrrell. All four were inspiring in their roles.

The Music and Lyrics Producer is Clarry Evans while the Book and Lyrics Director is Denny Lawrence.

“Honeyland” combines a story about an epic period in our history and the relationships among 4 “committed to the (just) cause” friends. Add the excellent musical numbers and “Honeyland” manifests as a highly recommended, excellent show.
