“Put this in your wheelhouse.” Off-Broadway Review: By Rob Lester 

“A show that takes its audience on a ride, and shifts gears from drama to comedy and back”

Staring  *Elizabeth Barkan, *Jim Newman *Madeleine Doherty, *David Edwards, *Joe Symon

SYNOPSIS:

Set against the pulse of downtown Manhattan’s bike messenger era in the 90’s, this musical follows Bobby (*Elizabeth Barkan), a female bike messenger and fearless rider who suffers a life-changing trauma after she inadvertently causes the tragic death of a young girl. Twenty years later she is still unable to get back on her bike. Retreating to her family-owned bike shop, she works alongside her Vietnam vet father, and aunt, (*Madeleine Doherty), as well as, her uncle (*Joe Symon) who is a quirky fitness instructor/rabbi. As she’s healing from trauma, Bobby fixes and restores other people’s bikes as penance, all while turning away from her own bike which is still mounted on the wall. An old love interest, Frank (*Jim Newman) a military veteran, comes into the store, after being away for 20 years. He recognizes in her the same trauma he once carried. With the right tools…you can fix anything!
