59E59 Theaters has announced that it will present the New York premiere of a revival of Stephen Schwartz’s musical “Working” beginning Dec. 1 as part of its fall season. Based on the 1974 nonfiction book of the same name by the oral historian Studs Terkel, this version of “Working,” which had a run last year at the Broadway Playhouse in Chicago, includes two new songs written by Lin-Manuel Miranda (“In the Heights”). Casting has not been announced.

Composer Lin-Manuel Miranda, who wrote the two new songs featured in the production of WORKING as well as the hit musical “In the Heights,” came to see the final product of his work last week – meeting the cast and participating in the post-show “Working Heroes” talkback series.
