Ordinary Days
Adapted by Jess Butler
A romance on the rocks, an artist’s vision stalled, and a graduate dissertation in peril lead four young New Yorkers through a series of captivating and energetic songs written by Adam Gwon. This original off-Broadway musical, reimagined by Jess Butler, is ideal for anyone who has been tainted with love, struck with loss, and has ever struggled to look for the light in a tunnel of darkness. ‘Ordinary Days’ reminds us of the beauty of life amidst all the trials and tribulations. ‘This recreation of the 2008 hit involves the audience as equals with the characters. Pleasantly intimate and charmingly stripped back with a cast of four and a piano, ‘Ordinary Days’ is a show suitable for everyone. If you missed your chance in 2008, you definitely don’t want to miss it now. If not to hear the incredible libretto, then to be reminded that all of our lives are stories that are worth telling and that ‘for beautiful to happen, the beautiful has got to be seen’.
A message from the cast
"It’s difficult to put into words how much we adore our show ‘Ordinary Days’. Its beautifully composed music and lyrics by Broadway writer Adam Gwon are simply magical, yet can only attest to half of the show's brilliance. The other is by virtue of our passionate and committed team, whose love for this show beams through their performance as four lovable characters navigating their way through New York City. We are ecstatic to be able to share this show with audiences and give it the second chance it deserves. ‘Ordinary Days’ is a simply beautiful show about life and all its chaotic grandeur!"
