Hot September (vintage)
Choose options
Kenneth J. Jacobson, Rhoda Roberts, and Paul Osborn’s 'Hot September' completed its highly anticipated pre-Broadway out-of-town world premiere tryout engagement at Boston's historic Shubert Theatre in late 1965, remaining an essential vintage monument for serious lyric stage scholars tracking legendary musical failures. Masterfully translating William Inge’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play *Picnic* onto the lyric stage, the melody-infused musical drama tracks the volatile sexual politics and small-town rifts triggered when a handsome stranger arrives.
