Our special guest is John Lee Beatty, John is an American scenic designer who has created set designs for more than 115 Broadway shows (most recently, Summer 1976) and has designed for other productions.

Harrison Ghee) witness a gang shootout in Depression-era Chicago, and in order to escape getting rubbed out by Spats Colombo (Mark Lotito), they disguise themselves as women, Josephine and Daphne, and join an all-girl band traveling to California. Both are smitten by the singer of the band Sugar Cane (Adrianna Hicks), who wants to be a movie star. Joe (momentarily ditching his Josephine disguise) pretends to be a Hollywood screenwriter. Meanwhile millionaire Osgood (Kevin Del Aguila) falls for Daphne.

His Good Night, Oscar, which we enjoyed at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre last season, opens on Broadway on April 24., Trattoria Dell’Arte, 900 7th Avenue (between 56th and 57th Streets)
2:00 pm – Camelot, this is a fresh take on the classic tale. It has a book by Aaron Sorkin, based on the original by Alan Jay Lerner, with the warm support of the Lerner & Loewe estates. Among his many accolades, Aaron is the Academy Award- and Emmy Award-winning writer of The Social Network, The Trial of the Chicago 7, A Few Good Men, “The West Wing,” and Broadway’s recent To Kill A Mockingbird, also directed by Bartlett Sher. But while the book is new, the most beloved elements of the story are intact: the romantic triangle between Arthur, Guenevere and Lancelot; the quest to establish democracy and justice over chaos; the bittersweet wish for the world to be as it once was. And, the gorgeous score is still there including “If Ever I Would Leave You,” “The Lusty Month of May” and the title song “Camelot,” to be played by a 30-piece orchestra using the original orchestrations. Beaumont Theatre, Lincoln Center.
8:00 pm – & Juliet, this new musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told. & Juliet asks: what would happen next if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo? Juliet’s new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as her name, including "Since U Been Gone‚" "Roar," "Baby One More Time," "Larger Than Life‚" "That’s The Way It Is,“ and "Can't Stop the Feeling!"—all from the genius songwriter/producer behind more #1 hits than any other artist this century. Stephen Sondheim Theatre, 124 W 43rd Street, between Sixth and Seventh Aves.
