Katharine McPhee is set to star as Iris in the upcoming workshop of the new musical Lucky Us, based on Amy Bloom’s novel. The workshop will take place on March 20, 2025, at Ripley Grier Studios in New York City. The musical features a book by James Magruder, music and lyrics by David Foster and AnnMarie Milazzo, and direction by Michael Greif.

Lucky Us tells the story of teenage half-sisters Eva and Iris, who journey across 1940s America in search of fame and fortune, navigating a landscape of big dreams, scandals, betrayals, and war.

This project marks a reunion for McPhee and Foster, who have previously collaborated on various musical endeavors. McPhee’s involvement in Lucky Us adds to her impressive repertoire, which includes her Broadway debut as Jenna in Waitress and her role in the NBC musical series Smash.
