On The Twentieth Century In Concert

Five performances to benefit The Matthew Naegeli Scholarship Program for The Growing Stage. The multiple Award-winning On the Twentieth Century, the Cy Coleman-Betty Comden-Adolph Green musical will be performed in a Staged Concert Version, directed and choreographed by Hal Simons. Comden and Green based the musical on three works: the 1934 Howard Hawks film Twentieth Century; the original 1932 play of the same name by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur; and Hecht’s and MacArthur’s inspiration, Charles Bruce Millholland’s unproduced play about his experiences working for theater producer David Belasco, Napoleon of Broadway.
