INDECENT is produced on Broadway by Daryl Roth, Elizabeth Ireland McCann and Cody Lassen, who will present the Vineyard Theatre production in association with Vineyard Theatre, La Jolla Playhouse and Yale Repertory Theatre.
A new play with music, INDECENT is written by Paula Vogel, created by Paula Vogel and Rebecca Taichman, and directed by Rebecca Taichman.
From Pulitzer Prize winner Paula Vogel (How I Learned to Drive) comes a provocative new play with music inspired by a true story. Indecent follows the incredible journey of a controversial piece of theater and the passionate artists who risked their lives to perform it. Created by Vogel and director Rebecca Taichman (Stage Kiss), this riveting and richly theatrical backstage drama is a celebration of art and tradition, a fierce indictment of censorship and a gripping look at an explosive moment in history. Featuring the original ensemble and music performed by an onstage band, Indecent is "superbly realized and remarkably powerful" (The New York Times), and comes to Broadway following a critically acclaimed sold-out Off-Broadway run.
INDECENT was uniformly praised by critics when it debuted Off-Broadway earlier this year. The New York Times says "INDECENT is a terrific, powerful new play." "A riveting drama," wrote Variety. And Deadline called it "A fascinating work...a spellbinding evening." The production set box office records at the Vineyard Theatre, where it played to sold-out houses throughout its run.
INDECENT marks the Broadway debut of Ms. Vogel, who won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1998 for her unforgettable play HOW I LEARNED TO DRIVE, which enjoyed a long, fruitful run Off-Broadway. DRIVE was also the recipient of the NY Drama Critics Circle Award, Lortel, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Obie Awards for Best Play. Ms. Vogel's numerous works - which have been widely produced in the U.S. and around the world - include BALTIMORE WALTZ, THE LONG CHRISTMAS RIDE HOME, A CIVIL WAR CHRISTMAS and AND BABY MAKES SEVEN.
INDECENT also marks the reunion of the successful producing duo of Daryl Roth and Elizabeth Ireland McCann, who together produced an impressive run of critically-acclaimed works by Edward Albee: the Pulitzer Prize-winning THREE TALL WOMEN (1994) Off-Broadway and on national tour; the Tony Award-winning THE GOAT, OR WHO IS SYLVIA? In 2002. They mounted the renowned revival of WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? starring Kathleen Turner and Bill Irwin in 2005, and previously THE PLAY ABOUT THE BABY and BECKETT/ALBEE, both starring Brian Murray and the late Marian Seldes.
INDECENT has choreography by David Dorfman; Lisa Gutkin and Aaron Halva are music directors and co-composers; Riccardo Hernandez is scenic design; costume design is by Emily Rebholz; lighting design is by Christopher Akerlind; sound design is by Matt Hubbs and projection design is by Tal Yarden.
