A new musical about brotherly love set in Bayonne took the stage at Hudson Theatre Works from December 2-12, 2021. “Elliot & Me” tells the true life story of Elliot Willensky — a magnetic and carefree songwriter — and his younger brother Steven — who is both admiring of, and frustrated by, his cool older brother.
The show features music from Elliot’s real catalog of songs and a script written by Steven Willensky and playwright Scott Coulter. Correspondent Maddie Orton chats with Steven and Hudson Theatre Works Artistic Director Frank Licato about the production.
