This American musical masterpiece is headlined by "lust-worthy leading man" (New York Times) Steven Pasquale, star of Broadway and television's The Good Wife, and "sweet-voiced, wholesomely beautiful" (USA Today) Laura Osnes, who was recently Tony-nominated for her title role performance in Cinderella.
This cast of luminaries of the stage and screen is directed and choreographed by Tony Award-winner Rob Ashford and conducted by Broadway's David Chase. The powerful Lyric Opera Orchestra and Chorus will perform for a truly once-in-a-lifetime production you don't want to miss!
