Joan Rivers, Hunter Ryan Herdlicka, Hoda Kotb and More Celebrate "A Double Life"
According to notes, "the unique story of two men whose relationship has spanned more than fifty years is told in 'Double Life: A Love Story from Broadway to Hollywood' by Alan Shayne and Norman Sunshine . Although this is personal history involving such high profile names as Katherine Hepburn, Rock Hudson, Barbra Streisand, Lee Radziwill and Frances Lear—it also provides context to the growing acceptance of gay relationships from the 1950s to the present. 'Double Life' itself is a trip through the entertainment world and a gay partnership in the latter half of the 20th century."
The production will include Bernstein’s incidental music for Lillian Hellman’s adaptation of The Lark, and Menotti’s The Unicorn, The Gorgon, and The Manticore.
Based on the novel and film by Frank Cottrell Boyce, the new musical will reunite Guettel with Tony-winning Light in the Piazza director Bartlett Sher.
