THE STORY

With a score by Leonard Bernstein, Wonderful Town tells the story of two

sisters, Ruth and Eileen, who move from a rural town in Ohio to experience the

bright lights, the big city, and the crazy characters of Greenwich Village, New York City. Ruth is an aspiring writer and Eileen is a dancer who wants to pursue a life on stage. One sister can’t find a man no matter what she does, the other can’t keep them away. Together, these two sisters take on the world.

WONDERFUL TOWN runs in the Jarson Kaplan Theater at the Aronoff Center for the Arts, November 4, 5, 6, and November 9, 10, 11, and 12th!

With a brilliantly eclectic score by Leonard Bernstein, Wonderful Town is the semi-autobiographical story of two Ohio sisters: Ruth, a writer, and Eileen, an actress: whose often funny and always heartwarming antics prove you’ve got to trust yourself and your talent to get anywhere in 1930’s New York City.

Based on a film of the same name, with music by Cyndi Lauper and book by Harvey Fierstein, Kinky Boots lifts us up and shows us that we have way more in common than we ever imagined.
