New York New York the Musical

New York, New York the Musical is based on the story line of the 1977 American musical drama film directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Mardik Martin and Earl Mac Rauch based on a story by Rauch. It is a musical tribute, featuring new songs by John Kander and Fred Ebb as well as jazz standards, to Scorsese’s home town of New York City, and stars Liza Minnelli and Robert De Niro as a pair of musicians and lovers. The story is “about a jazz saxophonist (De Niro) and a pop singer (Minnelli) who fall madly in love and marry;” however, the “saxophonist’s outrageously volatile personality places a continual strain on their relationship, and after they have a baby, their marriage crumbles,” even as their careers develop on separate paths. The New Musical is featuring a new score by the incomparable John Kander and Fred Ebb, an original story by David Thompson with Sharon Washington, additional lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, with direction and choreography by Susan Stroman.

St. James Theatre

 

---

The St. James Theatre is located at 246 W. 44th St. Broadway, New York City, United States. It was built by Abraham L. Erlanger, theatrical producer and a founding member of the Theatrical Syndicate, on the site of the original Sardi’s restaurant. It opened in 1927 as The Erlanger. Upon Erlanger’s death in 1930, control of the venue was taken over by the Astor family, who owned the land on which the theatre stood. The Astors renamed it the St. James Theatre. The theatre was purchased by the Shuberts in the late 1930s. They were forced to sell it to William L. McKnight in 1957 following the loss of an antitrust case. McKnight renovated the St. James and reopened it in 1958. In 1970, McKnight then transferred the theatre to his daughter Virginia and her husband James H. Binger, who had formed Jujamcyn Theaters.
