Sleepless is the enchanting new romantic musical comedy based on the original story and screenplay of the romcom classic Sleepless In Seattle. Sleepless tells the heart-warming tale of Sam, who moves to Seattle with his eight year-old son, Jonah, following the tragic death of his wife. When Jonah phones a radio show, Sam is forced to talk about his broken heart and sleepless nights live on air, and he suddenly finds himself one of the most sought-after single men in America - and a great news story for feisty journalist Annie. Can Jonah bring the two together on the top deck of the Empire State Building? A fresh and lively book alongside a new musical score bring this most timeless of romantic comedies to life on stage.
