Adapted from Charles Dickens' favorite and most autobiographical novel, 'David Copperfield, The New Musical' follows David's quest to find a home. As a child, David endures the sadism of his stepfather Murdstone, the depredations of the villainous schoolmaster Creakle, and the mind-numbing routine of the London sweatshop to which he is consigned after the death of his mother. As an adult, he is visited by happiness and success, tragedy and loss. Along the way, he meets some of Dickens' most memorable characters: his formidable Aunt Betsey, the seafaring Peggotty family, the grandiloquent Mr. Micawber and the contemptible Uriah Heep. The production is an AEA Off Broadway engagement at The Duke, NYC, with previews beginning September 29, 2026, opening October 9, 2026, and closing December 6, 2026, with a possible extension to December 20, 2026.
