Based on the play My Sister Eileen, Wonderful Town won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and includes some of the most popular songs of the 1950s!
Travel to the summer of 1935 in New York, when wisecracking writer Ruth Sherwood arrives from Ohio with her pretty, younger sister, Eileen, who wants to be an actress. Despite being homesick, the two plucky sisters are determined to forge a life in the big city. Their hilarious romantic adventures (and misadventures) include the wacky denizens of a bohemian Greenwich Village, a spicy Conga Line with Brazilian sailors, a serenade by Irish policemen, the rhythm of Swing; and best of all, you’ll learn 100 Easy Ways to Lose Your Man!
Produced by special arrangement with Tams-Witmark, Inc., New York, New York.
