An original musical featuring the songs of Vanessa Carlton about love, fate & dreams both shattered and fulfilled.

More Than This, which made its world premiere at MuCCC in 2013, is an original musical featuring the songs of singer/songwriter/musician Vanessa Carlton that tells the story of five teens whose lives are intertwined for one transformative year, until they find themselves pulled apart by love, fate, and dreams both shattered and fulfilled. 

Over the next several years the fallout from the separation shapes their journey to adulthood as they navigate through the intricacies of love, careers, sex, and independence, all the while moving towards an unexpected, yet inevitable, reunion. The play explores the complexities of love, loyalty and sacrifice, and the struggle to define success and the self in the modern world, all amid the backdrop of Carlton's beautiful instrumentals and hauntingly emotional vocals.  DVC is proud to bring the revival of More Than This to MuCCC, and is grateful for the support of Vanessa Carlton.
