ROAD TO NYMF -- GHOSTLIGHT
The Road to NYMF is a video blog series that follows the show's journey from getting their musical up on their feet and to the stag. From interviews to rehearsals to struggles and times full of joy, discover what it takes to put on a musical. Enjoy!
Book, Music and Lyrics by Matthew Martin and Tim Realbuto, Choreography by Michael Kidney, Directed by Matthew Martin and Tim Realbuto
at Signature Theatre Company -- The Peter Norton Space (555 W. 42nd Street)
According to backstage lore, the ghost of a Ziegfeld Follies star haunts the New Amsterdam Theatre. Ghostlight excavates the true story of Olive Thomas, a small-town girl who rises to headlines alongside Fanny Brice. Seduced by the decadent world of the theater, Olive stumbles into a secret affair, an unfulfilling Hollywood marriage, and a downward spiral into drugs and alcohol. An homage to Broadway's Golden Age, Ghostlight captures the glamorous and tragic lives of those who changed the face of the American musical forever.
