New York City
Based on Jay McInerney’s 1984 best selling novel, Bright Lights, Big City, a contemporary rock musical, concerns the life of young New Yorker Jamie, who seems to have it all: good looks, a successful model wife, a job at a prestigious magazine and many friends. During one week, however, his life spins out of control and his search for his true self begins anew. This is the ultimate modern cautionary tale for a culture seeking depth and importance in a world that seems increasingly shallow and trivial.
