Afternoon on Broadway: The Works of Comden and Green

Join Marc Courtade as he explores the works of Betty Comden and Adolph Green who wrote the lyrics and books for some of Broadway’s best musicals – a partnership that lasted over fifty years. They began writing material that they performed in Greenwich Village, before teaming with their friend Leonard Bernstein to create the musicals On the Town and Wonderful Town. They also collaborated with Jule Styne on several musicals, including Bells Are Ringing and Peter Pan, and Morton Gould on Billion Dollar Baby. The also wrote several movie scripts, including Singin’ in the Rain and The Band Wagon.

Just in: One of their works - ON THE TOWN - will be performed by the Port Summer Show in August. Lead actors from this upcoming production will open the talk with a "sneak peek" number from the show! 3 p.m. MAC
