Times Square Angel

Theater for the New City presents a special 10th annual holiday edition of the staged reading of the hard-boiled Christmas fantasy Times Square Angel, written by and starring Charles Busch, and directed by Carl Andress.

Times Square Angel is an affectionate homage to the holiday/fantasy films of the 1940’s such as It’s a Wonderful Life, The Bishop’s Wife, and The Big Street. Busch stars as Irish O’Flanagan, a tough-as-nails nightclub chanteuse in 1940’s Manhattan who makes Scrooge look like a sentimental sap.

Directed by Carl Andress, the cast features Mr. Busch and Mr. Andress, Theater in Limbo alums and long-time Busch colleagues.
