LONNY PRICE
A NEW MUSICAL
Emmy Award winner and Tony Award nominee Lonny Price directs an intimate
new musical by composer/lyricist Geoff Morrow and book writer Timothy
Prager that delivers us to the intersection of loyalty, love, and ambition. Back
in 1950, film producer Joseph Lindy was on top of the world, making hit
after hit with the love of his life and leading lady, Billie Hathaway. Nearly four
decades later, retired and forgotten, he must approve for release a version
of his abandoned, cinematic masterpiece — an autobiographical film now
altered irrevocably by a young producer. Haunted by the choices he made
years ago, Joseph’s story hangs in the balance as he reconstructs the film, his
memory, and, ultimately, his legacy.
