The Pasadena Playhouse (Sheldon Epps, Artistic Director and Elizabeth Doran, Executive Director), in association with David Shor Productions, announced today that single tickets for the world premiere of SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE – THE MUSICAL will go on sale Sunday, March 10.  The production is scheduled to run from May 24 through June 23, 2013, with a press opening night on June 2 at 5:00 p.m.

SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE – THE MUSICAL will be directed by Playhouse Artistic Director Sheldon Epps.  The production has a book by Jeff Arch, music by Ben Toth, lyrics by Sam Forman and is based on the Columbia Pictures film.

SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE – THE MUSICAL centers around Sam, a widower and single father. When Sam's son, Jonah calls into a talk radio program looking for a new mother, Sam ends up getting on the phone and laments about his lost love. Thousands of miles away in Baltimore, Annie hears the program and immediately falls in love with Sam, despite the fact that she has never met him and that she is engaged to another man. Believing they are meant to be together, Annie sets out for Seattle to meet Sam, who, meanwhile, contends with an onslaught of letters from available women equally touched by his phone call.

The film was nominated for two Academy Awards, two BAFTA Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, four MTV Movie Awards, one Writers Guild of America Award, and won an American Comedy Award and a Casting Society of America Award.
