Former Odessan eyes Broadway run in Mrs Farmer's Daughter
Jack Eric Williams, 39, an Odessan now in New York, wrote the music and lyrics and directs the musical Mrs Farmer's Daughter produced at PepSiCo Sumafare '83 in Purchase. The docu musical about 1930s star Frances Farmer runs through Sunday, with Broadway option holder Barra Kahn as creative consultant. Williams, known as Beadle Bamford from Sweeney Todd, describes the piece as poetic and impressionistic, exploring freedom and personal timing rather than tragedy.
