Dara Friedman's Musical is a 48-minute orchestration of 60 singing performances that took place on the streets of Manhattan last fall, commissioned by Public Art Fund. For three weeks, Friedman invited ordinary New Yorkers to burst into song on street corners, in coffee shops, museums and train stations. This film records those performances, creating a sprawling American musical.

Public Art Fund and Gavin Brown's enterprise are pleased to co-present this first outdoor screening of Musical in Riverside Park South, as part of Summer on the Hudson, a program of the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation. Musical was premiered in April 2008 by Public Art Fund and presented later that month in the Grand Concourse at Grand Central Terminal, one of film's locations. The film was also shown during the month of June at Gavin Brown's enterprise.
