Time for a coffee run! New York, New York has partnered with the Drama Book Shop to offer free tickets to tonight's July 6 evening performance with the purchase of a "Major Chord Mocha" coffee from the bookstore's in-store cafe. Tickets are only applicable to tonight's performance, and are available in a limited quantity, with the small size coffee costing $5.76 and the large costing $6.26.
The Drama Book Shop is co-owned by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who supplied additional lyrics to the new Kander and Ebb musical.
New York, New York opened at the St. James Theatre April 26 after beginning previews March 24. The all-star creative team is led by five-time Tony winner Susan Stroman, who directs and choreographs the production with music and lyrics by John Kander and Fred Ebb, a book by David Thompson and co-written by Sharon Washington, and additional lyrics by Miranda. It earned nine Tony nominations and one Tony Award (for Beowulf Boritt's set design).
Inspired by the 1977 film written by Earl M. Rauch, New York, New York is set in Manhattan in the days after World War II is over. A collection of artists has dreams as big and diverse as the city itself, among them Francine Evans, a young singer just off the bus from Philly, destined for greatness. At least, until she encounters New York native Jimmy Doyle, a brilliant but disillusioned musician.
