Lady, Be Good is directed by Mark Brokaw and choreographed by Randy Skinner. Founding Encores! music director Rob Fisher returns as guest music director, and has supervised the restoration of the Gershwins’ original score.
Lady, Be Good, according to press notes, "tells the story of a penniless brother (Danny Gardner) and sister (Patti Murin) who crash a garden party in hopes of some quick nourishment. They resolve to marry for money, but love gets in the way, as it usually does. Before true love wins out, they encounter Mexican gangsters, crooked lawyers, wealthy socialites, and a song-and-dance man with fascinating rhythm (Tommy Tune)."
The musical opened at the Liberty Theater on Dec. 1, 1924, and ran for 330 performances. It has music by George Gershwin and lyrics by Ira Gershwin with a book by Guy Bolton and Fred Thompson. The original production starred Fred and Adele Astaire.
Patina Miller, Brian D'Arcy James, Phillipa Soo, Joshua Henry, Sara Bareilles, and more star in the Stephen Sondheim-James Lapine musical at the St. James Theatre.
The initiative from the Educational Theatre Association, Disney Theatrical Group, and Music Theatre International will see schools competing for their state's exclusive performing rights to the Disney musical.
