Last night, the cast of 39 STEPS off-Broadway took their dark night off to travel uptown to see Broadway's ON THE TOWN. After the show, they went backstage to say hello to the company. Scroll down for photos from their visit!
The two-time Tony Award winning hilarious hit comedy 39 Steps just released a new block of tickets for October and November 2015. The production began performances on April 1, 2015 at the Union Square Theatre (100 East 17th Street). 39 Steps officially opened on April 13, 2015. 39 Steps features original Broadway cast member Arnie Burton reprising his role of Clown #2, Billy Carter as Clown #1, recent Juilliard grad Brittany Vicars as Pamela/Annabella/Margaret, and Broadway vet Robert Petkoff as the dashing hero Richard Hannay.
Adapted by Tony nominated author Patrick Barlow from an original concept by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon, and based on the book by John Buchan and the classic 1935 Alfred Hitchcock film, 39 Steps features Tony nominated direction by Maria Aitken, Tony winning lighting design by Kevin Adams, Tony winning sound design by Mic Pool, and Tony nominated scenic and costume design by Peter McKintosh.
39 Steps is a comedic spoof of the classic 1935 film, with only 4 "insanely talented" actors portraying more than 150 characters, sometimes changing roles in the blink of an eye. The brilliantly madcap story follows our dashing hero Richard Hannay (Robert Petkoff) as he races to solve the mystery of The 39 Steps, all the while trying to clear his name. The show's uproarious fast-paced 100 minutes promises to leave you gasping for breath... in a good way! It's fun for everyone from 9 to 99.
Directed by John Rando (Tony Award winner for Urinetown) and choreographed by Joshua Bergasse (Emmy Award winner for "Smash"), On The Town features eye popping sets and gorgeous costumes by Jess Goldstein (Newsies, Jersey Boys, The Rivals) and a score by Leonard Bernstein, one of America's greatest composers. ON THE TOWN, which began previews on Saturday, September 20, 2014 and officially opened on Thursday, October 16, 2014, was created by a legendary dream team, featuring book and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, music by Leonard Bernstein, and based on an idea by Jerome Robbins.
