Colton Ryan and Anna Uzele are set to star in the new Kander and Ebb musical New York, New York. The musical, inspired by the film of the same name, will be directed by Susan Stroman. It features music and lyrics by John Kander & Fred Ebb, and is written by David Thompson, co-written by Sharon Washington, and featuring additional lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
The plot: In 1946, New York is beginning to rebuild. As steel beams swing overhead, a collection of artists has dreams as big and diverse as the city itself. Among them is Francine Evans, a young singer just off the bus from Philly, who is destined for greatness. At least, until she encounters New York native Jimmy Doyle, a brilliant but disillusioned musician looking for his "major chord" in life: music, money, love. The odds of both achieving all three are slim. But if they can make it there, they can make it anywhere.
Previews begin Friday, March 24, 2023 and New York, New York will officially open Wednesday, April 26, 2023 at Broadway's St. James Theatre.
Sending all the love and luck to the cast, creatives and crew of A Streetcar Named Desire ❤️

Click to viewBrooklyn Academy of Music has announced the full cast for The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window. Oscar Isaac and Rachel Brosnahan lead the first major NYC revival of the Lorraine Hansberry play in 50 years, directed by Anne Kauffman. As per BAM: "Hansberry invites us into Greenwich Village in the 60s, crafting a razor-sharp portrait of a diverse group of friends whose progressive dreams can’t quite match reality. At the center are Sidney and Iris Brustein, fighting to see if their marriage-with all its crackling wit, passion, and petty cruelty-can survive Sidney’s ideals."
