It has been announced that Colton Ryan (Girl From The North Country) and Anna Uzele (Six) will star as Jimmy Doyle and Francine Evans, respectively, in the brand new Kander & Ebb musical, NEW YORK, NEW YORK, which begins performances at Broadway’s St James Theatre from 24 March.

Featuring music and lyrics by John Kander & Fred Ebb, written by Tony Award nominee David Thompson, co-written by Sharon Washington and featuring additional lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, NEW YORK, NEW YORK will be directed and choreographed by Susan Stroman.

It is 1946, the war is over, and a resurgent New York is beginning to rebuild. As steel beams swing overhead, a collection of artists has dreams as big and diverse as the city itself.

Among them is Francine Evans, a young singer just off the bus from Philly, who is destined for greatness. At least, until she encounters New York native Jimmy Doyle, a brilliant but disillusioned musician looking for his “major chord” in life: music, money, love. The odds of both achieving all three are slim. But if they can make it there, they can make it anywhere.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK is a spectacular show for a singular city. With a unique blend of dazzling new songs and big band classics (‘New York, New York’, ’But The World Goes ‘Round), this jubilant new musical is destined to become the talk of the town.

Be a part of it. 

Additional cast and creative team members will be announced at a later date.
