About Music City
Get Music City tickets to see this Drama Desk-nominated new musical about dreamers, a dive bar, and the spirit of Nashville that inspires musicians from all over. Music City the musical plays at 512 West 42nd Street, a new venue in Midtown that is refashioned precisely for this show, transforming the space into a Nashville-style honkey-tonk.
Music City off Broadway is a gritty and charming jukebox musical featuring the songs of multi-platinum songwriter J.T. Harding, including “Smile," “Somewhere In My Car," and "Sangria." Following a pair of singer-songwriters looking to make it big in Nashville, this musical extended three times at the Upper West Side’s West End Theater. Now, it moves closer to Times Square in an more elaborate production directed by Bedlam artistic director Eric Tucker.
Step inside the Wicked Tickle, the show's country bar where music, storytelling, and nightlife collide. Dreams, drinks, and great songs await in Music City.

More information about Music City
Jukebox musicals are nothing new — there's Mamma Mia, Jersey Boys, & Juliet, and so many more. However, one that specifically centers country music is rarer, and J.T. Harding's catalogue is rich in country hits. Born in Nashville, Harding has written songs for Uncle Kracker, Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, Blake Shelton, Dierks Bentley, Darius Rucker, and others.
Those songs are the star of this new musical, which is produced by Gabrielle Palitz, known for her Broadway credits including Buena Vista Social Club, Our Town, Bandstand, and others.
“The Wicked Tickle feels like Nashville’s Broadway dropped right into the middle of Manhattan — loud, alive, and full of stories,” Harding said in a statement. “The great critical and audience response meant the world to us. Taking the show to midtown feels like opening the doors even wider, letting the music, the stories, and the heart of this show reach an even bigger audience.”
