Adam Guettel | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Kelli O’Hara and Brian d’Arcy James star in this searing musical, based on the 1962 film and original 1958 teleplay of the same name, about a couple falling in love in 1950s New York and struggling against themselves to build their family.Days of Wine and Roses marks the reunion of Guettel and Lucas, who last collaborated on the six-time Tony Award-winning musical The Light in the Piazza. Following a critically acclaimed, sold-out run at Atlantic Theater Company, the show opens on Broadway on January 28, 2024, at Studio 54. The limited sixteen-week engagement begins previews on January 6 (further information is available here).

John McWhorter, writing in the New York Times, said of Days of Wine and Roses, “Repeated listenings compound the amazement. [Guettel’s] work, such as the musicals Floyd Collins and The Light in the Piazza, has always offered that kind of challenge—initially leaving a feeling of:Beautiful, but wait, I need to hear it again—and those up for it have a way of coming away shining like Moses down from the Mount. The new score has the same effect.”
