NEW YORK Huge waves couldn t stop Tori Murden McClure from becoming the first American to row across the Atlantic Ocean solo in 1999. So it s only fitting that a global pandemic couldn t stop a musical about her feat from making it to audiences just not the way it was originally intended.
“Row,” which was scheduled to make its stage debut at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts in the summer 2020, is instead making its world premiere this month as a recording available on Audible.
“This whole process has been like a slow blossoming,” said Dawn Landes, who wrote the songs and lyrics. “It’s really become a completely unique piece of art, which I never really could have even imagined.”
