“A Walk on the Moon,” a musical about a Brooklyn mother whose life is transformed during a trip to a Catskills bungalow colony, will have its New York premiere this summer at The Laura Pels Theatre. The story is familiar to fans of the 1999 romantic drama of the same name that starred Diane Lane and Viggo Mortensen.

“A Walk on the Moon” will begin performances on June 15. It is directed by Tony nominee Sheryl Kaller, with book and additional lyrics by original screenwriter Pamela Gray, music and lyrics by Tony and Grammy nominee AnnMarie Milazzo, and choreography by Josh Prince. Gray drew on her own experiences vacationing with her family to write the script.
