A “revisal” of the 1906 Broadway hit, reconceived with a delightful new book and a score that interpolates Cohan’s jazzy ragtime melodies, remarkably clever charm songs, stirring dance numbers and romantic ballads. 45 Minutes From Broadway manages to reflect both the sweep of a modern musical and ragtime-era charm.
An ensemble of New Yorkers swim the choppy waters of romance, circa autumn 2001, in a contemporary comedy of manners that opens windows onto all that changes and all that remains the same in love, marriage, class, race, and family life. "The Future of Love" is a new musical that illuminates the fact that everything we construct to keep chaos and darkness at bay can be destroyed in an instant. Book By Donald Brenner, Lyrics by Sara Wordsworth, Music by Linda Dowdell, Based on the Novel by Shirley Abbott.
