J2 Spotlight Musical Theater Company has announced three productions for its third season, which will take place April 13-May 21 at Theatre Row.
The season starts with Woman of the Year, which will play April 13-23. A Tony Award-winning adaptation of the classic film starring Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn, Woman of the Year is about a very public feud between a TV reporter and a cartoonist. It features a score by John Kander and Fred Ebb (Cabaret), and a book by Peter Stone (1776).
The season continues with another book by Peter Stone, Sugar, which is a stage musical based on Some Like It Hot that played on Broadway from 1972-73 — fifty years before the current adaptation on Broadway. Featuring music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Bob Merrill (the team behind Funny Girl), it will run April 27-May 7.
Appropriately, the final show of the season is The Goodbye Girl (May 11-21). Based on the film starring Marsha Mason and Richard Dreyfus, it follows the unlikely romance between Paula, a single mother who has been jilted one too many times, and Eliot, the opinionated actor who shows up – unexpectedly – on her doorstep with a lease to sublet her apartment. It features a book by Neil Simon, music by Marvin Hamlisch, and lyrics by David Zippel.
Creative teams and casting for the 2023 season will be announced in the coming weeks.

Hardly a competition –– this is a very small, lower-budget off-off-Bway company that does brief runs.
Will be very interested to see WOMAN OF THE YEAR and which "version" of the show they do.

I’m one of the girls
Who’s one of the boys
Who enjoys the boys and the smoke and the noise…

The first Broadway show I ever saw as a kid (my uncle was the winch designer/operator). I adore this soundtrack, and just booked my seats!
