Top of PageGlimpses Of the Moon
musical adaptation of the novel by edith Wharton. the following description is from the show's press release: "Glimpses of the Moon is the first original musical created specifically for the intimate wood-paneled Oak Room of the algonquin Hotel. Set in 1922, Glimpses of the Moon follows the jazzy whirl of Manhattan society, from champagne-soaked dinner parties to luxurious vacation cottages and back to New York's elegant hotels. Popular but penniless, Suzy Branch and her friend Nick Lansing devise the ultimate fund-raising scheme: to marry and live off the wedding gifts while they help one another find suitable millionaires. the plan works perfectly-until they fall in love."
