Kennedy, an evening that has fueled speculation, fascination, and legend for more than six decades. Performances will run August 6-29.
Set immediately after Monroe's iconic 1962 Madison Square Garden appearance, Happy Birthday, Jack! offers audiences an intimate and emotionally charged glimpse behind one of the most talked-about nights in American history. Blending historical figures with compelling dramatic fiction, the play explores ambition, love, loyalty, power, and the human cost of living beneath the spotlight.
