Why this petition matters

Started by Amber Cope

The Bedwetter, based on the bestselling memoir by Sarah Silverman, premiered off-Broadway for a limited run at the Atlantic Theater before closing on July 3rd, 2022. 

It is a musical by multi-award-winners Sarah Silverman ("I Love You, America"), Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne) and Joshua Harmon (Bad Jews).

Adam Schlesinger was an extraordinary artist, musician, and composer who tragically passed away from Covid-19 on April 1st, 2020, just weeks after The Bedwetter was set to begin rehearsals, delayed by the start of the pandemic. One of his final gifts to the Broadway community was this phenomenal show, the Guardian called a "crude but kind success." The Observer said it best in the title of their review, "Review: Sarah Silverman’s ‘The Bedwetter’ More Than Deserves a Spot on Broadway."

Two years after the show's rehearsals were postponed, The Bedwetter finally opened on June 19th, 2022. It would be a tragedy to let Adam's final work end here, only allowing weeks for the public to see it. Even more tragic, there is no cast recording released, songs or videos to experience on youtube, or social media to bring fans community or more access to the show. 

Plot: "Meet Sarah. She's funny. She's dirty. She's 10. And she's got a secret that you'll never guess (unless you read the title)."
