Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope will present a special presentation of a new Broadway musical, “Female Troubles,” at the sixth Oscar Hammerstein Festival at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 18.
The presentation, which is part concert, part insider’s preview, is open to the public. Tickets are $35.
Current Tony-nominee lyricist Amanda Green (“Mr. Saturday Night” on Broadway) and composer Curtis Moore (Emmy nominated for his music on Amazon Prime’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”) will lead a concert featuring cast members including Olivier Award winner Lesli Margherita (BCP’s Miss Adelaide from “Guys and Dolls”).
Playhouse Executive Producer Robyn Goodman will interview Green and Moore about the process of developing a new musical for Broadway.
With a book by Jennifer Crittenden (“Seinfeld”) and Gabrielle Allan (HBO’s Emmy-winning “Veep”), “Female Troubles” takes on a headline-grabbing topic in a blazingly funny way.
Elinor Benton and her Lady’s Maid both find themselves surprisingly and undeniably knocked up. Since they are unmarried and it is England in the 19th century, they have a big problem. They set off on a hilarious carriage trip to London to find a solution to their “female troubles.”
This comedy takes a clear-eyed view of the present through the lens of 1810.
