It’s hard to go wrong with this warm, light-hearted show that is one of the musical theatre’s rare modern romantic comedies. “The Goodbye Girl” is Based on Neil Simon's well-known film about an unlikely romance between Paula, a bitter, single mother who has been jilted one too many times, and Eliot, the opinionated actor who shows up on her doorstep with a lease to sublet her apartment. It features the same unique humor that has made Neil Simon the most popular playwright in Broadway history. Add a score by Marvin Hamlisch, composer of “A Chorus Line,” and David Zippel, lyricist of “City of Angels” and Disney’s “Hercules” and “Mulan,” and you have an instant contemporary classic! Set in New York City, this witty and tuneful musical is a love letter to the city and features two star roles (a strong-willed female lead with a showstopping belt and a charismatic leading man with a flair for comedy), as well as scene-stealing roles for a young girl wise beyond her years and a blues-singing landlady with an attitude.
