On the Twentieth Century is based on plays by Ben Hecht, Charles MacArthur & Bruce Millholland.

The company just met the press and BroadwayWorld's Richard Ridge was on hand to chat with the full gang. Check out interviews with Chenoweth, Gallagher, Ellis and more below!

ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY premiered on Broadway in 1978, and won five Tony Awards including Best Original Score and Best Book of a Musical.

It's nonstop laughs aboard the Twentieth Century, a luxury coach travelling from Chicago to New York City. Luck, love and mischief collide when the bankrupt theater producer Oscar Jaffee (Gallagher) embarks on a madcap mission to cajole glamorous Hollywood starlet Lily Garland (Chenoweth) into playing the lead in his new, non-existent epic drama. But is the train ride long enough to reignite the spark between these former lovers, create a play from scratch, and find the money to get it all the way to Broadway?
