Houston's Premiere Off-Broadway Theater

15^th Season of staging Houston Premieres

 Bright Lights, Big City

Book, Music and Lyrics by Paul Scott Goodman
Based on the novel "Bright Lights, Big City" by Jay McInerney

 “I am not the kind of guy who should be in a place like this at this time of morning, Sunday 6 a.m.” and so begins the Off Broadway musical BL, BC. Based on the novel by Jay McInerney, Bright Lights, Big City concerns the life of young New Yorker - Jamie who seems to have it all: good looks, a successful model wife, a job at a prestigious magazine and many friends. During one week, however, his life spins out of control and his search for his true self begins anew. Jamie, a twenty-something New Yorker, relives the loss of his mother, wife, job and dignity in the span of one week as he falls into a downward spiral where he turns to the addictive club and drug scene of 1980's Manhattan, but he escapes in time to learn valuable lessons about family, loss and love.

 The riveting rock ‘n’ roll score is reminiscent of the 1980's sound, but remains as timeless as the story it tells. Audiences will rock out with the title song, laugh out loud during the hilarious "I Hate The French" and will be brought to tears during the heart wrenching "Are You Still Holding My Hand?"

 The Off-Broadway production opened at the New York Theatre Workshop in 1999 and was directed by Rent's Michael Grief.

This Musical is Recommended for Adult Audiences
