How the whimsical, intergalactic ‘A Wrinkle in Time' became a musical
During a recent rehearsal, with three tall puppets shaped like fuzzy purple periscopes standing nearby, the cast and creators of the new musical 'A Wrinkle in Time' were trying to nail a key scene of Act 2. It was a particularly strange and potent moment in a story full of them: Young Meg Murry (Taylor Iman Jones) lies crumpled on the surface of the planet Ixchel. She and her companions have crash-landed there, having suffered a terrible loss. Meg's soul has been injured. One of Ixchel's inhabitants (Andrea Jones-Sojola) draws near.
