The Delacorte Lawn in Central Park
GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY
written and directed by celebrated playwright Conor McPherson, boldly reimagines 20 legendary songs of Bob Dylan, including “Hurricane,” “I Want You,” “Slow Train Coming,” “Forever Young,” and “Like A Rolling Stone” as they’ve never been heard before.This spiritually uplifting and beautiful story is set in Duluth, MN, in 1934, when a group of wanderers’ lives intersect at a house full of music, life, and hope. GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY made its United States premiere at The Public in the Fall of 2018, before transferring to Broadway February 2020. It is now doing a strictly limited season at the Belasco Theatre until June 19.
INTO THE WOODS
is a modern twist of intertwining plots of several Brothers Grimm fairy tales in a beautiful musical format, exploring the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests. With music and lyrics by our beloved Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine, this musical played our very own Delacorte stage in the summer of 2012, in the fitting greenery of Central Park.
TWO GENTELMEN OF VERONA
Based on the Shakespeare comedy of the same name, TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA follows lifelong friends Proteus and Valentine as they leave their rural hometown to experience life in urban Milan. In an ongoing effort to make the great works of Shakespeare relevant to contemporary audiences, Joe Papp brought together John Guare, Mel Shapiro, and Galt MacDermont to create a new musical version of TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA that premiered at The Delacorte, toured with the Mobile Unit and then was the first show to transfer to Broadway with LuEsther T. Mertz’s incredible backing and support. This show was envisioned for the people of New York City and toured the five boroughs in 1971.
A CHORUS LINE
A seminal musical that opened at The Public on April 15, 1975, A CHORUS LINE charts the emotional journeys of 17 dancers, as they spend the day auditioning for a Broadway chorus line. After its run in The Public’s Newman Theater, the show went on to play 6,137 performances on Broadway—becoming Broadway’s longest-running production, until 1997. For its run at the Shubert Theatre, A CHORUS LINE won nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical, as well as the 1976 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
