Liza Elliott appears to have it all: she runs a successful fashion magazine and has several suitors. Underneath, however, she is miserable, which leads her to see a psychiatrist, who works with Liza to analyze her feelings by way of her dreams. She recounts three dreams - one in which she is the center of a world of glamor, one in which she is the center of her own wedding and finally a manic "circus" trial scene in which she is forced to defend herself against the charge that she refuses to make up her mind. Ultimately, Liza finds the root of her problem in a childhood song which haunts her, but which she is unable to remember in full. Will she be able to process her dreams, her memories and the various personalities that surround her? The Bronx Opera Company presents a rare NYC production of the landmark musical Lady in the Dark, which combines the verbal style of Moss Hart, the always fascinating musical language of Kurt Weill and the brilliant lyrics of Ira Gershwin.
