About the Show

Kelli O'Hara & Brian d'Arcy James star in a '50s-style musical about love and family struggles.

Kelli O'Hara and Brian d'Arcy James headline a powerful new musical set in 1950s New York, chronicling a couple's love story and internal struggle to create a family. The poignant and jazz-infused musical is filled with compassion and features a soaring score.

Adapted from JP Miller's 1962 film and the original 1958 teleplay, composer and lyricist Adam Guettel (known for Floyd Collins) and playwright Craig Lucas (of An American in Paris fame) reunite for their first collaboration since the acclaimed The Light in the Piazza. The production is directed by Michael Greif (renowned for Dear Evan Hansen).

The show previously ran Off-Broadway at Atlantic Theater Company. You can read reviews for that production here.
