Our story is called “A Bird in the Hand.” Versions of this folktale go all the way back to ancient Greece, and have spread throughout Europe and Asia.
Some really great people came together to bring you our tale, including Broadway legends — and real-life husband and wife — Danny Burstein and Rebecca Luker. Between the two of them, they’ve starred in dozens of Broadway shows. Rebecca has starred in such Broadway classics as
The Music Man and
Moulin Rouge.
This story was adapted for Circle Round by Rebecca Sheir. It was edited by Jessica Alpert. Original music and sound design by Eric Shimelonis. Our artist is Sabina Hahn.
