Ordinary Days

“Ordinary becomes extraordinary…. “
An uplifting musical celebrating the big impact of a small moment.
Ordinary Days is a witty, refreshing and affecting reminder that it’s possible to change the lives of people who, due to our increasingly anonymous world, we may never even meet.
With equal doses of humor and poignancy, it celebrates how 8.3 million individual stories combine in unexpected ways to make New York City such a unique and extraordinary home.
