TBG Theatre (312 W 36th Street)
A boozing, womanizing radio icon is haunted by the misdeeds of his past in this sexy and swingin' comedy, set at the end of the Radio's Golden Age. It's 1956, and caddish crooner Dean Newhouse's variety show is facing a dangerous new foe...Television. As Dean struggles to keep his show afloat - and his bitter and abused cast from killing him - we're treated to an original score that draws from genre music of the 40's and 50's to reinvent the story of a controversial classic - Don Giovanni - to startling comic and dramatic effect. Co-produced with Beth Morrison Projects
and brought to you by the
New York Musical Theatre Festival
ABOUT NEW SOUNDS THEATRE
New Sounds Theatre is a New York City-based theatre company that is dedicated to advancing and redefining the role of original music in contemporary theatre. Every NST production prominently features an original musical score by a contemporary songwriter or composer, which is always performed by live musicians. Whether it's an experimental rock ballet, an edgy hip-hop opera, or a Shakespeare classic with cinematic underscoring, each new NST production sets out to break down the boundaries between music and theatre in the most innovative ways. And with all of our music played live, each production is performed with an immediacy that simply can't be attained with a prerecorded soundtrack.
