About this listen
Tori (Grace McLean) aims to be the first woman to row solo across the Atlantic. As a child, she raised her younger brother Lamar (John McGinty), defending him against discrimination and neighborhood bullies. Now, with nothing but her body and a hand-built boat, she squares off with her own tormentor: the ocean. Inspired by A Pearl in the Storm by Tori Murden McClure, this uplifting world premiere musical, directed by Tyne Rafaeli with a book by Daniel Goldstein and music and lyrics by Dawn Landes, interrogates and reveals the resilience, fear, and ambition inside one individual undeterred by the odds.
For over six decades, Williamstown Theatre Festival, recipient of the Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theatre and the Commonwealth Award for Achievement, has brought emerging and professional theatre artists together to create a thrilling summer festival of premiere work alongside fresh, new productions of the western canon, accompanying cultural events including COMMUNITY WORKS and Late-Night Cabarets, and readings and workshops of new plays. Under Artistic Director Mandy Greenfield, WTF launched the Andrew Martin-Weber New Play and Musical Commissioning Program, through which theatre artists, including Jocelyn Bioh, Nathan Alan Davis, Halley Feiffer, Justin Levine, Matthew Lopez, Jiehae Park, Benjamin Scheuer, and many others, create new work supported by a year-round play development program. WTF runs unmatched training programs for new generations of theatre talent, and artists and productions shaped at WTF fill theatres in New York, London, and around the country each season. Williamstown Theatre Festival’s productions of The Bridges of Madison County, The Elephant Man, Fool for Love, Living on Love, and The Visit enjoyed critically acclaimed runs on Broadway, with The Elephant Man and The Visit receiving Tony Award nominations for Best Revival of a Play and Best Revival of a Musical, respectively. WTF's world premiere productions of Cost of Living (winner of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Drama), Actually, Paradise Blue, and Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow played acclaimed Off-Broadway runs. In the abbreviated 2019-20 theatrical season, Williamstown Theatre Festival was represented or scheduled to be represented on Broadway, Off-Broadway, and regionally by The Sound Inside and Grand Horizons, both of which received Tony Award nominations for Best Play, The Rose Tattoo, Seared, Selling Kabul, Unknown Soldier, and Lempicka.

Mark Seal sifts through the evidence, has extensive new conversations with director Francis Ford Coppola and several heretofore silent sources, and complements them with colorful interviews with key players including actors Al Pacino, James Caan, Talia Shire, and others.

A visit to the urologist has never been more hilarious - or revealing - than in Men’s Health, a new comedy written by Daniel Goldfarb and directed by Scott Ellis. Adam (Tony® winner Santino Fontana) is a TV writer in search of a diagnosis for a very personal problem. He ends up half naked and fully freaked out in the exam room of Dr. Szabo (Tony and Emmy® winner Tony Shalhoub), a physician with a unique bedside manner offering some truly unorthodox treatment options.

Sakina's Restaurant breathes new life into an age old story: the emotive tale of an immigrant coming to New York in pursuit of the American dream.

This past October, the iconic play was reimagined and produced by Audible for a limited run at Minetta Lane Theatre in the West Village of Manhattan. Recorded for an Audible-exclusive audience, listeners can forgo the price of admission and embark on the cross-cultural journey with Mandvi.

Four-time Tony Award® winner Harvey Fierstein takes on New York City’s very own political firebrand, Bella Abzug, in his new raucous, heart-rending, and absurdly humorous solo show. Set in 1976, on the eve of her bid to become New York State’s first female senator, Bella Bella finds this larger-than-life, truth-slinging, groundbreaking, hat-wearing icon squirreled away in the bathroom of a midtown hotel awaiting that night’s election results while a coterie of family and celebs await her entrance. Directing is Kimberly Senior (The Niceties).

Amazing! Can’t wait to see the WTF premier!
It broke my heart and left me hopeful, happy and inspired. I’m not sure how they gave you the rush of the ocean in this format and made the flashbacks so clear. Brava!

Mind blown!
A musical on Audible? YES! The performance of this real-life inspired story was amazing. The music was epic, and I HOPE that they choose to put out an album with this version of the music. A powerful story! Will be keeping this in my library so that I can listen to it again!

Stunning and powerful.
This play/musical keeps you on the edge of your seat, especially if you don’t already know the story and ending. I cannot imagine it would be any more powerful in a theater with staging and sets, because the audience is forced to use its mind’s eye, immersing one into the experience.
Beautifully written and acted, poignant and tender. Now I’m off to read the book upon which it was based.
Oh yes - do yourself a favor and listen to the discussion at the end.

Inspiring in every level!
What a brilliant story to bring to life and to Audible! Kudos to the folks who gave us this gift of live theater in the pandemic. The power of the music stays with you and makes you want to listen again and again. Dawn Landes creates music and lyrics that move your heart and soul through emotions you can’t name, and leaves you with a spirit of determination and celebration of life!

Exceptional!! Highly recommend!
One of the best, most engaging stories I have gotten from Audible. And the best Audible Original (which I tend not to like). The compelling life story of Tori Merton woven with remarkable music and sound effects had me captured from the first moment. I listened straight through to the end.

Inspiring and motivating
While I don't want to get in a boat and row across the Atlantic, I *am* left wanting to do more with my life to connect with others after hearing this performance. What can I do to use my energy to be better? Who can I help? With whom can I connect to accomplish greater good? I wasn't expecting this recording to do more than entertain me.
