On the Town, Leonard Bernstein's and Jerome Robbins' dance spectacular sails onto the Paper Mill Playhouse stage just in time for the holidays. A musical devoted to celebrating New York City in all its glorious diversity, On the Town is the story of Three Sailors - Gabey, Chip, and Ozzie - who are on a 24-hour leave and searching for romance and boy do they find it! On the Town opened on Broadway in 1944 and introduced America to such standards as, "New York, New York" and "I Can Cook Too". ".altogether transporting music," as Charles Isherwood of the New York Times described it; On the Town is a "wonderland of pleasure, romance and hot fun."

Mark Adam Rampmeyer is the Hair and Wig designer. Tom Helm will serve as Musical Director. The Production Stage Manager is Richard C. Rauscher. Casting is by Alison Franck.
