Here is a first look at the production:
The musical features a book by George Abbott and Betty Smith, music by Arthur Schwartz and lyrics by Dorothy Fields with a revised book by Elinor Renfield and further revisions by Susan DiLallo.
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, according to Peccadillo notes, is the poignant story of "the Nolan family, beginning in 1902 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. There's Johnny Nolan, a ne'er do well singer with dreams of Broadway glory, his wife, Katie, struggling to make a better life for her family, and twelve year-old Francie, an aspiring writer who relies on her imagination and her love of reading to get through hard times."
Theatre at St. Clements is located at 423 W. 46th Street, New York City. Tickets may be purchased by phone through Ovation Tix at (212) 352-3101 or online by visiting www.ThePeccadillo.com.
