Celebrating Noel Coward's remarkable impact on British and American culture, Life is for Living fuses theatricality, music, and conversations--real and imagined--with British musical writing legends.

Original songs marry with old favorites from "The Master," blending gems from British musical great Ivor Novello, with the wit of Dillie Keane, Fascinating Aida, Lennon and McCartney, and many more in an exhilarating and entertaining holiday performance.

A uniquely British take on the twists and turns of life from the creators of the sold-out Coward at Christmas, the Drama Desk-nominated Travelling Light, and So, This Then is Life, in Life is for Living Noel Coward masters the art of conversation with the likes of Gertrude Lawrence, Edith Sitwell and Laurence Olivier.
