With laughs, catchy tunes, amazement, and outrage, Has Anyone Seen My Mind? offers a musical journey through the anxieties and absurdities of contemporary life.

The stellar cast includes Erin Davie (Side Show, Grey Gardens, Diana), Taylor Iman Jones (Six, Hamilton, Head Over Heels), Kelvin Moon Loh (Beetlejuice, SpongeBob SquarePants, The King and I), and Ryan Silverman (Chicago, Phantom of the Opera, Passion).

“This is an evening of laughs, catchy tunes, amazement, and outrage about what’s on all our minds,” says Russell.

Has Anyone Seen My Mind? marks the sixteenth full-length musical from Bill Russell, whose work has been staged worldwide. Russell received Tony nominations for book and lyrics of Side Show (music by Henry Krieger) and has penned Pageant, Unexpected Joy, Lucky Duck, and The Last Smoker in America, among many others. His musicals have been produced in the UK, Australia, Japan, Germany, Sweden, and numerous other countries.

Director Justin Ross Cohen brings his Broadway and Off-Broadway expertise to the project, following acclaimed directing and choreography credits that span Romeo and Bernadette to the film Waiting for Yvette, as well as extensive work as an actor (A Chorus Line on Broadway and film).

With biting humor, a powerhouse cast, and songs that capture the pulse of our moment, Has Anyone Seen My Mind? is a one-of-a-kind evening of musical theater that asks all the right questions—while reminding us not to lose our minds in the process.

The York Theatre, “Where Musicals Come to Life,” is the only theatre in New York City—and one of very few in the world—dedicated to developing and fully producing new musicals and preserving notable shows from the past. For over five decades, York’s intimate, imaginative style of producing both original and classic musicals has resulted in critical acclaim and recognition from artists and audiences alike. Since 1997, The York has focused on new musicals in its Mainstage Series—most of them world, American, or New York premieres—by some of the field’s most esteemed creators and has also helped launch the careers of many talented new writers. Over 45 cast recordings from York Theatre productions are now available, including its acclaimed revival of Closer Than Ever (2013 Off-Broadway Alliance Award for Best Revival). Commercial transfers of such York premieres as The Musical of Musicals (The Musical!), Souvenir (Tony Award Nomination for actress Judy Kaye), and Jolson & Company, and revivals of Pacific Overtures and Sweeney Todd (four Tony Nominations including Best Revival) have all showcased the importance of The York and its programs.

The York is the recipient of an Emmy Nomination, a special Drama Desk Award for “Developing and Producing New Musicals,” and a special Outer Critics Circle Award for “50 Years of Producing New and Classic Musicals.” The York is currently producing at The Theatre at St. Jean’s at 76^th Street and Lexington Avenue.
