AMT Theater To Present World Premiere Of THE PAPARAZZI In March

AMT Theater will present the opening of the new musical The Paparazzi on March 6, 2025. Featuring music and lyrics by Al Tapper and a book by Tony Sportiello, the production will be directed by Nancy Robillard with musical direction by David Wolfson. The musical will run at AMT Theater, 354 West 45th Street, through April 11. Tickets are $55.

The show follows Christie Barnes, a writer who arrives in New York from Kansas with ambitions of crafting meaningful journalism. When her only available position is at the New York Beacon, a sensational tabloid, her temporary assignment evolves into an immersion in celebrity culture. As Christie becomes increasingly entangled in the world of the paparazzi, her initial principles and goals shift, leading to unforeseen consequences.

The musical follows AMT’s previous full productions since 2022, including An Unbalanced Mind, On the Right Track, Bettinger’s Luggage, David, and Upside Down.
