ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY star Kristin Chenoweth took to Twitter to share a backstage photo of herself and her good friend Bradley Whitford following this week's performance of the musical revival. Chenoweth captioned the pic "Me and my bud Bradley Whitford. I love him!" Check it out at left!
On the Twentieth Century reunites Roundabout Theatre Company with PS Classics co-founder & album producer Tommy Krasker, following the recording of the Tony Award-nominated revival of Violet last season. Tommy also helmed the Grammy-nominated cast albums of Roundabout's productions of Nine, Assassins and Sondheim on Sondheim. This album marks the eighth collaboration between Roundabout Theatre Company and PS Classics. This album is made possible in part through the generosity of Elizabeth Armstrong and Ted and Mary Jo Shen.
Tony & Emmy Award winner Kristin Chenoweth and Golden Globe, SAG Award winner & Tony nominee Peter Gallagher star in On the Twentieth Century with Tony nominee Andy Karl, Mark Linn-Baker, Tony winner Michael McGrath and Tony winner Mary Louise Wilson. The cast also includes Phillip Attmore, Justin Bowen,Preston Truman Boyd, Paula Leggett Chase, Ben Crawford, Rick Faugno, Jenifer Foote, Bahiyah Hibah, Drew King,Analisa Leaming, Kevin Ligon, Erica Mansfield, James Moye, Linda Mugleston, Mamie Parris, Andy Taylor, Jim Walton and Richard Riaz Yoder.
Directed by six-time Tony nominee Scott Ellis and choreographed by Tony winner Warren Carlyle, the Broadway revival of On the Twentieth Century includes music by Cy Coleman, and book & lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green. On the Twentieth Century is based on plays by Ben Hecht, Charles MacArthur & Bruce Millholland. Orchestrations are by Larry Hochman and dance arrangements & incidental music is by David Krane with music direction by Kevin Stites. The design team includes David Rockwell (Sets), William Ivey Long (Costumes), Donald Holder (Lights) and Jon Weston (Sound).
It's nonstop laughs aboard the Twentieth Century, a luxury coach travelling from Chicago to New York City. Luck, love and mischief collide when the bankrupt theater producer Oscar Jaffee (Gallagher) embarks on a madcap mission to cajole glamorous Hollywood starlet Lily Garland (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?
ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY premiered on Broadway in 1978, and won Tony Awards for Best Original Score and Best Book of a Musical.
