Just before On The Town began previews on Broadway, the show's cast and creative team gathered at Ars Nova for the kind of comic relief that only Jackie Hoffman can provide. No one is safe in this uproarious, very special edition of Hoffman's one-woman show! BroadwayWorld has brought you nine episodes from the invitation-only event, and you can check out the final episode, "I'm Still Here," below.

The Bronx is up, the Battery's down, and three sailors are hoping to get just a little bit lucky on their one day of leave in the Big Apple. From the Brooklyn Navy Yard and Coney Island to Times Square and Carnegie Hall, On The Town (currently playing at the Lyric Theatre) zigzags through New York City as the sailors and the three high-spirited young women they meet chase love, dreams, and each other during an unforgettable day in the city that never sleeps. The classic score features the standards "New York, New York," "I Can Cook Too," "Lonely Town," and "Some Other Time" and is played in this production with their original orchestrations, performed by the largest orchestra on Broadway, with 28 musicians led by musical director James Moore (Follies, Ragtime).
