New York, New York is a new Broadway musical. The show features music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb and Lin Manuel Miranda, and a book by David Thompson and Sharon Washington. It is loosely based on the 1977 film of the same name. It takes place in NYC in the late 1940s, shortly after World War II had ended. The musical’s potential for profound storytelling targeting the nascent post-war era held great potential. Unfortunately, the creative team missed the mark.
Because trouble comes in all sizes.
