Broadway Musical Swept Away Gets Extended 'Til End of Month

The new Broadway musical Swept Away , the riveting tale of shipwrecked sailors, with music by the Avett Brothers, has been extended for another two weeks, with final performance planned for December 29th.

The extension comes after an unprecedented surge in ticket sales after announcing last week that the show would be closing its doors early.

Star of the show, Adrian Blake Enscoe who is also one-third of the beloved indie-folk-pop band, Bandits on the Run gave us a backstage tour last night of all the fun.

Tony Award winner John Gallagher, Jr. ( Spring Awakening ), Tony Award nominee Stark Sands ( Kinky Boots ), Adrian Blake Enscoe (Apple TV+'s Dickinson), and Wayne Duvall ( 1984 ), also star in the show based on the true story of the Mignonette, a yacht that sank in 1884.

Adrian and his bandmates Sydney Shepherd and Regina Strayhorn, are also currently writing several original musicals, including one based on the book What's Eating Gilbert Grape, and preparing for a 2025 residency at Bowery Electric.

From busking in the subway, touring the country indie-band-in-a-van style, starring on a successful streaming series Dickinson on AppleTV+, and now, gracing the stage of the Great White Way, performing music by one of their favorite bands; The Avetts Adrian told us is like 'a dream come true.'
