By: BWW News Desk Jul. 25, 2005
On Thursday, July
28th at 8 PM, Lennon will host members of The Creative
Coalition and their guests at the performance.
Following the show, the audience will be treated to a talk-back session
with director Don Scardino and producer Allan
McKeown.
Joe
Pantoliano, Tony Goldwyn, Bob Balaban, Dick Cavett, Olympia Dukakis,
Giancarlo Esposito, Marcia Gay Harden, and Steven Van Zandt will attend
the performance as guests of the Creative Coalition, which is the
leading nonprofit, nonpartisan social and public advocacy organization
of the arts and entertainment community. Founded in 1989 by prominent
members of the creative community, The Creative Coalition is dedicated
to educating and mobilizing its members on issues of public importance,
primarily public education, the First Amendment, arts advocacy, and
runaway production.
Lennon began previews at the Broadhurst Theatre on July 7th, and will open on August 4th. Produced by McKeown, Edgar Lansbury, Clear Channel Entertainment and Jeffrey Sine by arrangement with Lennon's widow Yoko Ono, the biographical musical of the Beatles legend features Scardino's book and direction. "A musical biography, a concert, and a celebration all in one, Lennon takes us on a magical, mythical journey behind the greatest rock legacy and the boldest love story of our time - with words, images and some of the best pop songs ever written. From the Beatles to the Bed-Ins, from his musical partnership with Paul to his life partnership with Yoko, Lennon will bring you back to a time when music could change your soul... and one musician could change the world," according to a press article.
Lennon's playing schedule will be Tuesday - Saturday at 8pm, Wednesday and Saturday at 2pm, and Sunday at 3pm. Tickets, which range from $46.25 to $101.25, are available through Telecharge.com online or by phone at (212) 239-6200.
