WONDERFUL TOWN
THURSDAY 1st - 3rd July OPERA HOLLAND PARK
Two sisters. One incredible city.
Join Ruth and Eileen Sherwood as they arrive in 1930s New York and are thrown into a world of madcap adventures, zany characters and endless possibilities. A true celebration of life and love in the Big Apple, Wonderful Town perfectly evokes the thrill and excitement of chasing one’s dreams.
Re-imagined for the magical, alfresco setting of Opera Holland Park, this brand new production of the Tony Award Winning musical is chock-full of screwball comedy, dazzling choreography and an irresistible score by Leonard Bernstein.
