Fanny Hill, a new musical by Ed Dixon based on the raunchy 18th century novel by John Cleland, is currently in previews at the York Theatre Company (619 Lexington Avenue at the corner of 54th Street). It will open on February 14th and run through March 26th.

Nancy Anderson (Wonderful Town, Kiss Me, Kate, A Class Act) takes on the title role in the musical, which also features Tony Award-nominee Emily Skinner (Side Show, The Full Monty); Patti Allison (Orpheus Descending, Angel); David Cromwell (Julius Caesar, The Scarlet Pimpernel); Michael J. Farina (In My Life, Seussical); Gina Ferrall (Big River, Jane Eyre); Adam Monley (Mamma Mia!); Christianne Tisdale (Triumph of Love, Beauty and the Beast) and Tony Yazbeck (Oklahoma!, Gypsy).

The musical "is the story of a beautiful young girl who travels to London to make her fortune and ends up making a great deal more. . . the army, the navy, and most of Parliament. Fanny becomes the foremost practitioner of the world's oldest profession, proves that crime really can pay, and gives new meaning to the expression, 'making it!'," according to notes on the York's website. Fanny Hill, which features book, music and lyrics by Dixon, will be directed by James Brennan, while Michael Bottari and Ronald Case will design the sets and costumes. Phil Monat is the lighting designer.


Tickets to Fanny Hill are $45 during previews (performances from February 1 – 13) and $55 (from February 14 – March 26). Tickets can be purchased at www.SmartTix.com or by calling (212) 868-4444. Student rush and senior rush tickets will also be available.
