January 8, 2019 – Second Stage Theater (Carole Rothman, President and Artistic Director; Casey Reitz, Executive Director) has released an exclusive sneak peek music video of “I’ll Save the Girl,” from the upcoming World Premiere musical, SUPERHERO. The song is performed by cast member KYLE McARTHUR, accompanied by composer/lyricist TOM KITT on the piano. The video is available here.

SUPERHERO will begin previews January 31, 2019 at the Tony Kiser Theater (305 West 43rd Street) and will officially open on February 28, 2019.

Directed by JASON MOORE, SUPERHERO features a book by JOHN LOGAN and music and lyrics by TOM KITT. The full creative team includes musical staging by LORIN LATARRO, scenic design by BEOWULF BORITT, costume design by SARAH LAUX, lighting design by JEN SCHRIEVER, sound design by BRIAN RONAN, projection design by TAL YARDEN, and illusion design by CHRIS FISHER.

SUPERHERO features orchestrations by MICHAEL STAROBIN and TOM KITT, music direction by BRYAN PERRI, music coordination by MICHAEL AARONS, and casting by TELSEY + COMPANY.

SUPERHERO will feature KATE BALDWIN (Charlotte), BRYCE PINKHAM (Jim) and newcomer KYLE McARTHUR (Simon), as well as JULIA ABUEVA (Rachel), JAKE LEVY (Dwayne), SALENA QURESHI (Vee), THOM SESMA (Vic) and NATHANIEL STAMPLEY (Dean Fulton).

Before we can save the world, we have to save each other. From the Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer of Next to Normal and the Tony Award-winning writer of Red comes a deeply human new musical about a fractured family, the mysterious stranger in apartment 4-B, and the unexpected hero who just might save the day.
