WONDERFUL TOWN is presented by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Tams-Witmark LLC. www.concerdtheatricals.com
WONDERFUL TOWN will run approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, including a 15-minute intermission.
Wonderful Town is a vivid depiction of Greenwich Village, NYC in the mid-1930s — a place of tolerance, eccentricity and color where artists and bohemians would settle. This was particularly attractive to the creators of the musical while writing it during the midst of the repressed 1950s (and McCarthyism, or the “Red Scare”). It is a snapshot of life in 1930s New York, so today’s audiences might find some things dated while others are surprisingly relevant almost 100 years later.
Glossary of terms:
