From Hairspray to Hamilton

Having helped create shows like Hairspray, Angels in America, and Into the Woods, few people have been as close to the beating heart of Broadway as Jack Viertel has. The artistic director of New York City Center’s Encores! series and now the author of 'The Secret Life of the American Musical', Viertel brings to life the story of how a musical is made—from casting and choreography to opening night and curtain call.

This program is generously underwritten by Sally and Michael Feder.
