Hollywood Comes To Theater For The New City

After successful runs in Hollywood, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the Adelaide Fringe Festival, this show about Hollywood's Golden Age opens in New York at Theater for the New City.

The winner of the inaugural Made in Adelaide Award and The Holden Street Theatres' Award for the 2017 Adelaide Fringe, this one-woman show stars Joanne Hartstone as Evie Edwards - the girl who only wants one thing: to be a star. And she's intent in achieving hat.

We see an aspiring actress stand on the towering, 50-foot-tall H, looking out at the lights of Los Angeles and the dream factory known as Hollywood.

It is 1949. Truman is president, Marilyn Monroe is a little known model who poses nude for an art calendar to recover her impounded car. And nobody has ever heard of Evie Edwards - although she's intent on changing that

See this solo show, a hit at festivals around the world, as it charts over 30 years of the Golden Age of Hollywood, including stories from the Silent Era, the Great Depression and World War II, taking audiences on a nostalgic journey - with a different perspective.

The Girl Who Jumped Off The Hollywood Sign includes songs composed for cinema's greatest stars - Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, Jean Harlow and more.
When the show traveled to Hollywood, Joanne Hartstone won the Producers' Encore Award, TVolution Platinum Medal, Combined Artist & Fringe Management "Pick of the Fringe", Better Lemon's Critics Choice Award, and TVolution Best Solo Show (female) Award.

The subsequent Edinburgh season had sold out shows, garnered a plethora of four and five star reviews and inspired overwhelming audience acclaim.
Don't head for Hollywood just yet - as it comes here to Manhattan for a run to remember.
