New York, New York on Broadway

"New York, New York" is a new musical with songs by John Kander and Fred Ebb, additional lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, and direction by Susan Stroman. The "New York, New York" musical takes its title and setting from Martin Scorsese's 1977 film of the same name, but it features an entirely new plot by David Thompson and Sharon Washington. Just after World War II ends, in 1946, the city is rebuilding, and lots of artists are moving there hoping to make their dreams come true. But even survival in the city is tricky for these musicians, singers, dancers, and artists — can they make it? Multiple Kander and Ebb songs from the movie remain, like "The World Goes Round" and the iconic "New York, New York" theme. Kander also composed new songs, with lyrics by Tony, Grammy, and Pulitzer-winning writer Lin-Manuel Miranda in place of the late Ebb.
