Wonderful Town
The New Broadway Cast Recording

Category: Shows
With a dazzling score by Leonard Bernstein and brilliant lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, Wonderful Town is the story of Eileen and Ruth, two sisters who are fresh off the bus from Ohio and are bursting with dreams of making it big, falling in love and living happily ever after in New York City - the city we all love. Wonderful Town was born in 1953 as a vehicle for the considerable talents of movie star Rosalind Russell. The show opened to unanimous raves and went on to win 8 Tony Awards (including Best Musical, Composer & Authors). Fifty years later, it is a vehicle for the equally gifted Donna Murphy, a two-time Tony Award winner who could pick up a third next June for her sassy, snappy work here.

Description: Of Donna Murphy, The New York Times wrote, "Ms. Murphy is giving one of the most dazzlingly accomplished comic performances that you're ever likely to see in a musical." In a tour de force performance, the 2 x Tony Award-winner from Stephen Sondheim's Passion and the revival of Rodgers & Hammerstein's The King & I is once again bringing down the house. According to Variety, "Donna Murphy knocks one out of the park, giving a performance of such sustained wit, buoyancy and charm that she seems to blow any dust off the pages of this 50-year-old musical with the first breath from her petite frame."
