Ostrovsky
A new Cy Coleman musical comedy
Book by Avery Corman | Music by Cy Coleman | Choreographer and staging by Patricia Birch
The masterful Cy Coleman (City of Angels, Sweet Charity) creates at the Prince his newest show, a smart and soulful musical about an outsize, over-the-top star of the Yiddish theater in the 1920’s. Meet David Ostrovsky, an artist of monumental talent, with self-confidence to match, who suddenly finds himself fighting for his own survival in a bustling world of aspiring artists and hustling promoters, left-wing idealists and girls who just want to be stars.

It runs March 6 - April 4, 2004, at the Prince Music Theater in Philadelphia. Sounds interesting.
