Show Announcement February 16, 2024

ROCHESTER HILLS MI–The Meadow Brook presents ‘A Little More Alive,” a musical making a Michigan premiere, from Feb 14-March 10.

In this heartfelt and original folk-pop musical, written by Nick Blaemire, two estranged brothers reunite at their childhood home after their mother’s funeral. An unexpected revelation distorts every memory they have, and as they uncover secrets that had been hiding in plain sight their whole lives, Nate and Jeremy find that no one is exempt from the gray area between right and wrong.

An October 2016 New York concert of A Little More Alive featured Van Hughes, Daniel Jenkins, Rachel Bay Jones, Nicolette Robinson, Michael Tacconi, and Emily Walton. Blaemire penned the music and lyrics for the short-lived Broadway musical Glory Days. His Broadway acting credits include Cry-Baby and Godspell.

The musical was also made into a film, screenplay written by Blaemire.

Here is a youtube clip from a production of the stage musical.
