On the Twentieth Century is based on plays by Ben Hecht, Charles MacArthur & Bruce Millholland.
ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY premiered on Broadway in 1978, and won five Tony Awards including Best Original Score and Best Book of a Musical.
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?
