Vanities, a new musical by Jack Heifner, with music and lyrics by David Kirshenbaum, is directed by two-time Tony Award-winner Judith Ivey with a planned Broadway opening in the Fall of 2008.
Based on Heifner’s smash hit 1976 comedy that ran for 1,785 performances Off-Broadway, Vanities chronicles the comic journey of three bubbly Texas teens from cheerleaders to sorority sisters to housewives, liberated women and beyond. This coming-of-age tale set in the ’60’s and ’70s is a musical scrapbook of an era that had to be lived to be believed. Vanities offers a snapshot-sharp portrait of the lives, loves, disappointments, and dreams of best friends caught up in rapidly changing times.
