Show Description

Queenie is throwing a party—and you’re invited! Join an assortment of New York City’s most colorful characters for a night like no other in the dark underbelly of the city at the end of the 1920s. Michael John LaChiusa (The Gardens of Anuncia) and George C. Wolfe (Jelly’s Last Jam) bring Joseph Moncure March’s notorious narrative poem to life in their vivid, jazz-infused musical adaptation.

What happens when a night of debauchery leads to a morning of sobering truths? Nominated for seven Tony Awards in its original run, this musical directed by two-time Helen Hayes Award winner Lili-Ann Brown is full of irreverence, exuberant madness and joyful defiance.
