New Girl In Town
Book by
George Abbott
Music and Lyrics by
Bob Merrill
Based on the play Anna Christie by Eugene O'Neill
Two Acts, Book Musical, Rated PG
Broadway master George Abbott
and then-newcomer Bob Merrill
(CARNIVAL, FUNNY GIRL)
bring O’Neill’s 1921 classic to colorful turn of the century New York
in this solid star vehicle which blends the moving tenderness of the
original play with appealing melodies and infectious dances.
An
old Swedish sailor is overjoyed when his daughter Anna visits him after
fifteen years of living in St. Paul, but his crony Marthy realizes she
is not the sweet innocent her father imagines, but a former streetwalker
come back to reassemble the pieces of her shattered life. Anna
gradually fits in with her father’s friends, even falling in love for
the first time – until an envious Marthy spills the truth about Anna’s
past at a neighborhood ball, nearly destroying her dream of happiness.
Written for the incomparable Gwen Verdon, the show is ideal for a charismatic “triple-threat” performer.
