Presented as part of the "Salon Series," the Acting Company describes the classic as the tale of a "young tunesmith's struggle to succeed in the dog-eat-dog world of Tin Pan Alley. Eager-for-life, he befriends a one-hit wonder composer whose career is stalled. Their lifestyles soon exceed their wallets and deviate from their unsophisticated personalities. Will music save them?" The musical features the song "Button Up Your Overcoat."
June Moon will be presented in the Mainstage Theater of Playwrights Horizons. Tickets, ranging $35-$60 (including a post-performance reception with the cast), can be purchased by visiting TheActingCompany, or by phoning (212) 258-3111.
