“I wish I never met you so that I could have the joy of meeting you for the first time once more.”

Lyrics from “I Wish I Never Met You” | by Drew Gasparini

ABOUT Drew Gasparini

Drew Gasparini is an award-winning musical theatre composer/lyricist, a singer/songwriter, and a teacher. He is equally committed to forging a new sound in the intersection between theatre and pop, to nurturing the next generation of artists, and to throwing one hell of a party.

about the show

We Aren't Kids Anymore explores the collision of artistic expression and the realities of growing up. How do we hold on to our childhood dreams and ideals as adult disillusionment sets in? How do we sustain life as artists without settling for others’ definitions of success? And how do we recover when we lose those battles? This new theatrical song cycle was born of Drew Gasparini’s journey forging a creative path and navigating the world at large, and his desire to offer empathy and hope to everyone doing the same.
