Featuring a score by Friedman and a book by two-time Tony nominee Timbers (Peter and the Starcatcher, Rocky, Here Lies Love), the production marks the first new Shakespeare-based musical to be produced at the Delacorte Theater since the Tony-winning Galt MacDermot musical Two Gentlemen of Verona premiered there in 1971 prior to a Broadway run.
Timbers also directs the production that will run through Aug. 18. Check out Playbill.com's survival guide for waiting in line for tickets to Shakespeare in the Park.
