Roundabout Theatre Company presents a hilarious new production of On the Twentieth Century, the Tony-winning musical comedy from composer Cy Coleman (Sweet Charity), lyricist-librettists Betty Comden and Adolph Green (Singin' in the Rain), Tony-winning choreographer Warren Carlyle (After Midnight, ...Drood) and Tony-nominated director Scott Ellis (You Can't Take It With You, ...Drood).

Luck, love and mischief collide aboard the Twentieth Century, a luxury train, when the bankrupt theater producer Oscar Jaffe (Golden Globe® winner Peter Gallagher) embarks on a madcap mission to cajole glamorous Hollywood starlet Lily Garland (Tony® and Emmy® Award winner Kristin Chenoweth) into playing the lead in his new, non-existent epic drama. But is the train ride long enough to reignite the spark between these former lovers, create a play from scratch, and find the money to get it all the way to Broadway? This fun-filled musical journey to The Great White Way also stars Tony nominee Andy Karl (Rocky, ...Drood), Drama Desk nominee Mark Linn-Baker (You Can't Take It With You), Tony winner Michael McGrath (Nice Work If You Can Get It) and Tony winner Mary Louise Wilson (Grey Gardens).
