Penelope, known to many as the faithful wife of Greek hero Odysseus in Homer’s The Odyssey is stepping into the spotlight in a new musical, "Penelope." Written by Alex Bechtel, Grace McLean, and Eva Steinmetz with music and lyrics by Alex Bechtel, this is a story about what Penelope does while she waits for her husband to return from his… you guessed it: odyssey. She has a few drinks, she starts a band and sings a stunning folk-inflected pop cabaret-esque one-woman show about longing, love and womanhood. "Penelope" starts previews February 19, opens February 23 and runs through March 22, 2026. The musical is directed by Sarah Gay, music directed by Jeff Lankov and stars Cara Statham Serber as Penelope.
Curious to know more? Penelope is a one-woman, sharply funny folk-pop musical that reimagines Homer’s "The Odyssey" from the perspective of Odysseus’s wife as she awaits her husband’s return. Described as “a musical love letter to all those who wait,” this is a story about a woman who moves through loneliness to discover her own strength.
