Caffrey & marrows

About the team

Carrie Caffrey and Earl Marrows are a team of new musical theatre writers based in Brooklyn and hailing from Chicago and Australia respectively. Their songs have been featured in the Lincoln Center Broadway’s Future Songbook Series, at 54 Below, Off-Broadway in Rattlestick Playwrights’ Theatre’s Village Song, at York Theatre, NYMF, and at venues internationally including London’s Bread & Roses Theatre, Musical Theatre Radio, and the Under the Arch Incubator in St. Louis. During the pandemic, their work also featured digitally in numerous cabarets like the Allen & Gray New Voices Concert Series. The duo’s projects include stage musicals For Show, in which a high school show choir grapples with a school system designed to silence young women, Hell on Earth, a devilishly comedic musical which examines America’s separation of church and state through the lens of a satiric Satanic Cult, and Born For Today, a historic musical following the true story of journalist Nellie Bly’s trip around the world in under 80 days. Caffrey & Marrows are both graduates of the NYU Tisch Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program. They are proud members of the Dramatists Guild, ASCAP, and New Play Exchange.
