The world premiere of the new musical Sincerely, Oscar opens at Theatre Row April 4. Written by and starring Doreen Taylor, the show celebrates the life, music, and legacy of famed lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II.

Co-starring alongside Azudi Onyejekwe (The Great Comet) and Taylor is (in a sense) Hammerstein himself. The world premiere utilizes state-of-the-art 3D holographic technology to bring a hologram of the late lyricist center stage.
