ACT TWO: A SWELL PARTY WITH MOSS HART AND FRIENDS celebrates the playwright-director’s prolific output over the 30 years which followed. The effervescent evening of comedy and song will feature material Hart either authored, collaborated on or directed with such legendary artists as George S. Kaufman, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart, Kurt Weill & Ira Gershwin and Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Lowe. The shows that will be represented in this fast-paced evening of songs, scenes and sketches include The Man Who Came To Dinner, As Thousands Cheer, Face The Music, Lady in the Dark, My Fair Lady and Camelot.
