Glimpses of the Moon

Hailed by critics and audiences in January 2008, Glimpses of the Moon is the first original musical created specifically for the intimate wood-paneled Oak Room of the Algonquin Hotel. Set in 1922, Glimpses of the Moon follows the jazzy whirl of Manhattan society, from champagne-soaked dinner parties, to luxurious vacation cottages and back to New York’s elegant hotels.

A charming romantic musical, based on one of Edith Wharton’s rare comedies, Glimpses of the Moon is not without its share of heartaches. Popular but penniless, Susy Branch and her friend Nick Lansing devise a clever scheme: to marry and live off the wedding presents, while they help one another find suitable millionaires. The plan works perfectly– until they fall in love.
