A Tree Grows in Brooklyn returns to the New York Stage for the first time in 60 years in a fully produced revival by the award winning Peccadillo Theater Company. This classic work, hailed by the New York Times as “an inspiration” and “a star of the American musical theater,” features Arthur Schwartz and Dorothy Fields’ finest score – a pastiche of musical comedy, Irish folk songs and Broadway razzle dazzle. The musical retells the poignant story of the Nolan family, beginning in 1902 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. There's Johnny Nolan, a ne'er do well singer with dreams of Broadway glory, his wife, Katie, struggling to make a better life for her family, and 12 year-old Francie, an aspiring writer who relies on her imagination and her love of reading to get through hard times. Relive the story from the beloved novel and classic movie in this celebrated musical!
