JUNE 11—july 18, 2027

THEATER 555
555 W 42^nd street

Expansive and lush, Beautiful Jolie Gabor, Her Glamorous Three Daughters, and Always the Happiness is Life is a musical fantasy that traces the history of the first family who became famous for being famous. Examining society’s fascination with celebrity culture, Beautiful Jolie Gabor… centers on family matriarch Jolie Gabor, a Hungarian WWII immigrant who voraciously creates a life where persecution can never affect her family again. In the choices she makes and the not-so-truthful stories she spins, Jolie must answer the most telling question: What is the cost along the way? And, then, what is the cost at the end? Much like the real-life Gabor Family, five-time Tony Award nominee Michael John LaChiusa’s newest work, starring three-time Tony Award nominee Mary Testa as Jolie Gabor, absolutely mesmerizes.

As one Transport Group commission prepares to take the stage, two more are just beginning. Through the Joanna & Steven Sanders New Works Program, we’re thrilled to commission brand-new works from Joey Merlo (On Set with Theda Bara) and Mona Pirnot (I’m Assuming You Know David Greenspan).

Following three sold-out Carnegie Hall concerts, most recently Liza! at 80: A Celebration in Song and Dance, our one-night-only all-star concert series returns on February 22, 2027.

Save the date and stay tuned for title and casting announcement!
