Wonderful Town

Winner of five Tony Awards including Best Musical, _Wonderful Town_ tells the story of two sisters in 1935 who move from Ohio to Greenwich Village to pursue their artistic dreams and maybe find love along the way. Ruth, an aspiring writer, and Eileen, an aspiring actress, encounter an assortment of colorful characters as they strive and sing to delightful tunes by the great **Leonard Bernstein** with lyrics by legendary musical-comedy duo **Betty Comden** and **Adolph Green**. **Zhailon Levingston** (_Cats: “The Jellicle Ball”_) directs this celebration of New York City as a magnet for people from all over who come here to fulfill their aspirations. Led by **Mary-Mitchell Campbell**, the 28-piece **Encores! Orchestra** brings the beloved Golden Age sound—featuring marvellous songs like “Ohio” and “One Hundred Easy Ways”—back to life at City Center.
