Based on the screenplay of the iconic film, Sleepless tells the story of Sam who moves to Seattle with his eight-year-old son Jonah following the death of his wife.

The production is directed by Morgan Young and features a book by Michael Burdette with music by Robert Scott and lyrics by Brendan Cull.
