Alec Baldwin and Anne Heche star in
Roundabout Theatre Company's production of Twentieth Century, by Ben
Hecht and Charles MacArthur in a new adaptation by Ken Ludwig. Walter
Bobbie directs.
The stars came out to celebrate the show's opening night, and the show's second announced extension - all before opening! Twentieth Century is the comedic story of Oscar Jaffe, a
successful and egomaniacal Broadway director, who has transformed a
chorus girl, Lily Garland, into a leading lady. As Lily rises to
stardom and heads to Hollywood, Oscar begins a career downslide.
Bankrupt and on his way out, Oscar boards a train, the Twentieth
Century Limited, where he coincidentally runs into Lily again. Oscar
pulls out all the stops to persuade the now temperamental star to
return for another show.
