“Light in the Tunnel” is a new original Broadway bound musical
about the magical love affair between street performers
(a.k.a “buskers”) and their audience of passers-by in the
subway stations beneath New York City.
Created by veteran New York City subway performer,
folk singer/guitarist Wendy Sayvetz,
“Light in the Tunnel” features an ensemble cast
of the city’s finest street/subway performers.
We are currently raising funds with an online
crowd funding campaignpowered by Rocket Hub.
