Between the Lines is an empowering and enchanting new musical for anyone who has ever sought to find their place in the world. An outsider in a new town and a new school, Delilah seeks comfort in the pages of her favorite book, where she feels heard and understood by the handsome Prince Oliver. But as the lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur in both extraordinary and astonishing ways, Delilah discovers how to find her place in the real world while keeping her dreams alive.
After the show’s New York opening, The Wrap raved “the book by Timothy Allen McDonald and songs by Elyssa Samsel and Kate Anderson are absolutely enchanting.” Kirkus Reviews called the show “a feel-good musical with a pulsing score, colorful costumes and sets.” CitiTour praised the musical’s “sensational cast” and “catchy and heartfelt score.” According to TheaterMania, “there is a hungry audience out there just waiting to answer the siren call of Elyssa Samsel and Kate Anderson's alternatingly charming and life-affirming score.”

Between the Lines made its world premiere at Kansas City Rep in Fall 2017, where the musical broke box office records and the Kansas City Star called the show, “a whimsical, wonderful production,” and Broadway World raved, “It is a throwback to the prototypical well-conceived, masterfully executed, tuneful, funny, appropriately
danced, and professionally acted example of what you hope a Broadway style musical might aspire to be at its best.” In January 2018, a sold-out concert version of Between the Lines was presented at the 92Y in Manhattan. It was developed with the support of New York Stage and Film & Vassar’s Powerhouse Season, Summer 2016.
