Welcome to the glittering underbelly of 1950s New York. Struggling press agent Sidney Falco will do anything for his big break, but he can’t do it without the help of the city’s most feared gossip columnist, J.J. Hunsecker. As J.J. pulls Sidney deeper into his treacherous world, Sidney’s loyalties are caught between J.J.’s sister, the jazz musician she loves, and J.J. himself.

Based on the film noir classic, this 2002 musical features a jazz-fueled score by Academy Award winner Marvin Hamlisch (A Chorus Line) and Tony Award nominee Craig Carnelia (Working), with a book by Tony Award winner John Guare (Six Degrees of Separation). Guare and Carnelia are revising their work for MasterVoices’ production alongside director Ted Sperling (Floyd Collins).

Sweet Smell of Success stars four-time Tony Award nominee Raúl Esparza (Company, Law & Order: SVU) as J.J. Hunsecker and Platinum-certified recording artist Lizzy McAlpine (Floyd Collins) as Susan.
