Brooklyn’s Got Character[s], featuring songs written about and inspired by the real people of Kings County, will be presented Sept. 27 at Galapagos Art Space in Dumbo.

That got my attention. Especially since one of the songwriters got in touch with me because he was looking for Park Slope’s sidewalk astronomer. I asked why and he told me about this show.

According to the press materials, the show will “bring Brooklyn’s rich and varied humanity to life in theatrical songs based on the lives, stories, and personalities of its residents.” written by of some of New York City’s emerging composers, including Nathan Tysen and Chris Miller (The Burnt Part Boys), Joe Iconis (Things to Ruin, Bloodsong of Love), Tommy Newman (Band Geeks) and many more. All writers are alumni of New York University’s Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program at the Tisch School of the Arts.

Galapagos Art Space is located at 16 Main Street in Brooklyn. Tickets, priced $15, are available at www.smarttix.com/show.aspx?showcode=BRO101, and will also be available at the door.

The show is produced by the Blue Room Arts Collective,  dedicated to “writer-driven, audience-friendly concert and theatrical events that connect emerging musical theatre writers with new audiences in innovative ways. BRAC seeks to expand public notions of what musical theatre looks and sounds like, and to popularize new expressions of this classic American art form.”
