WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Fanny is set in Marseille and features one of Broadway's greatest love stories - a tale of a young girl's (Elena Shaddow) passion for a young man so in love with the sea that he leaves her, little realizing that she is pregnant with his child. Her marriage of convenience to a wealthy older man (Fred Applegate) desperate to have an heir is complicated by the sailor's return years later. Joshua Logan and S.N. Behrman provided an earthy book, and Harold Rome's score contains some of the most ardent and sweeping melodies ever written for the theater, including the title song, "Restless Heart" and "Never Too Late For Love." Fanny opened on November 4, 1954 at the Majestic Theater and played for a total of 888 performances.

From the moment it begins, there's a palpable sense of gentleness and delicacy to director Marc Bruni's staging of Fanny, being presented at New York City Center Encores! Lighting designer Ken Billington subtly bathes the stage in pastels and the orchestra (led with precision and crispness by Rob Berman) grandly brings to life the overture, that displays not only the diversity of Harold Rome's lush score, but also whisks audiences to the French seaside as it echoes the sounds of waves lapping at the shore. Once this tone has been set, it's essentially impossible to not be entranced by this delectable and neglected musical theater gem.
Based on a trilogy of novels by Marcel Pagnol, S.N. Behr[...]
