It's nonstop laughs aboard the Twentieth Century, a luxury coach travelling from Chicago to New York City.

NOMINATED FOR BEST REVIVAL: TONY, DRAMA DESK, OUTER CRITIC CIRCLE

Luck, love and mischief collide when the bankrupt theater producer Oscar Jaffe (Peter Gallagher) embarks on a madcap mission to cajole glamorous Hollywood starlet Lily Garland ( Kristin Chenoweth) into playing the lead in his new, non-existent epic drama. But is the train ride long enough to reignite the spark between these former lovers, create a play from scratch, and find the money to get it all the way to Broadway?

Reviews

  • ......you need performers who can not only sing in an operatic style, but are also capable farceurs in the outsized emotional style of silent films. Chenoweth is all of those things rolled into one, a genius comedienne with a flawless soprano and the ability to elicit laughter from the smallest gesture.

  • Perhaps best of all, this “Century” brings Ms. Chenoweth and Mr. Gallagher back to Broadway, where they can demonstrate the subtleties of being larger than life. These fine performers have been largely confined to television screens in recent years. And they grab the chance to chew (and devour) some real live scenery — and in Ms. Chenoweth’s case, hit pretty much every note on the scale, musical and otherwise — with the ecstatic vengeance of genies let out of their bottles.

  • Lending sterling support as Oscar’s right-hand “musketeers” are Mark Linn-Baker and Michael McGrath. Mary Louise Wilson lets her inner rascal out as a fanatical, off-kilter millionaire who promises to back Oscar’s movie. And Andy Karl (remember him as the best thing about “Rocky”?) adds big laughs and huge biceps, along with some ace physical comedy, as Lily’s boy toy Bruce Granit. In the show’s title song, it comes out that the Twentieth Century famously gives passengers “nothing but the best.” This production, fizzy and dizzy entertainment, does likewise.
