People behind the production

Secondhand Lions is the product of collaboration between Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner (music/lyrics) and Rupert Holmes (book), inspired by the 2003 film of the same name. The Seattle world premiere ran September 7 to October 6, 2013, at the 5th Avenue Theatre, marking the debut of the production in its current musical form. During development, the show was described as a rich fusion of bluegrass rhythm, Cash-like storytelling, and lavish 1920s stage imagery. The 2020 World Premiere Recording, released by Center Stage Records, captures the score for fans and newcomers alike. While there hasn’t been a publicly documented national tour announced for 2025, screenings and engagements continue to draw interest from theatre-goers.
