Story of My Life

A while back I reported that JOHN TARTAGLIA’S IMAGINOCEAN was taking to the sea with a run on the Royal Caribbean Cruise Liner but the show has found a new home on shore.

The new family musical will play at the New World Stages (NYC) with performances beginning on March 17th, with an opening night March 31st. "John Tartaglia’s IMAGINOCEAN follows the undersea adventures of a group of fish friends, who uncover a treasure map that leads them to learn about themselves and ultimately uncover the treasure of each other’s friendship. Produced by Jellyfish Jive Productions, John Tartaglia, Philip Katz of Broadway Theatrical and veteran musical theatre performer Michael Shawn Lewis have teamed up to bring this innovative black light musical production to the stage.
