The reviews are in! Off-Broadway's Between The Lines officially opened July 11 at Tony Kiser Theater. Previews for the new musical began June 15 after a single-day delay due to positive COVID cases within the company.
The new musical follows high schooler Delilah, an outsider in a new school, who seeks comfort in her favorite book where she feels heard and understood. But, the lines between reality and fantasy begin to blur, and she has to confront whether she has the power to rewrite her own story.
