About this Event
On the Town bursts onto the stage with infectious energy as three sailors — Gabey, Chip, and Ozzie — step onto New York City’s docks for a whirlwind 24-hour shore leave during World War II. Armed with nothing but optimism and a sense of adventure, the trio set out to experience everything the city has to offer — from the bright lights of Times Square to the romance and chaos of the subway.
Gabey becomes instantly smitten with Ivy Smith, a glamorous poster girl from the subway ads, and embarks on a city-wide quest to find her before midnight. Along the way, the sailors encounter a parade of unforgettable New Yorkers, including the brash and irresistible Claire de Loone, the over-eager taxi driver Hildy, and an array of larger-than-life characters who embody the pulse, humor, and heart of the city.
As the day races by in a blur of romance, mistaken identities, and high-octane dance numbers, the sailors discover that love can strike when least expected — and that even a single day can change everything. Fueled by Leonard Bernstein’s iconic jazz-infused score and Comden and Green’s razor-sharp wit, On the Town is a joyous celebration of youth, possibility, and the magic of New York City.
