On the Twentieth Century, 7/19

ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURYMusic by Cy ColemanBook and Lyrics by Comden & Green All aboard the Twentieth Century, a luxury train traveling from Chicago to New York during the 1930's! Oscar Jaffe, an egomaniacal, bankrupt theater producer, has boarded the train with one goal: to convince Lily Garland, a Hollywood celebrity and former flame, to star in his next not-yet-written production. And he only has 16 hours! Will Lily sign the contract in time? ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, with brilliant music by Cy Coleman and hilarious book and lyrics by Comden & Green, ran on Broadway from 1978 to 1979, winning five Tony Awards. Davis Shakespeare Festival is thrilled to continue our tradition of shining a light on another not commonly produced, yet brilliant musical!
