Choose options
Kurt Weill, Ira Gershwin, and Moss Hart’s 'Lady in the Dark' brought an opulent, epoch-defining musical masterpiece to the Alvin Theatre in 1941, running for an astonishing 467 performances and permanently rewriting the history of lyric stage structures. Conceived as a highly sophisticated psychoanalytic drama, the textually rich plot follows Liza Elliott, a brilliant, hyper-neurotic fashion magazine editor who undergoes a strategic series of psychoanalytic sessions to treat her severe panic attacks, turning her subconscious dreams into spectacular, grand-scale musical sequences. Directed by Hart, the original production starred silver-screen legend Gertrude Lawrence.
