Synopsis

Based on the earlier play, My Sister Eileen by Joseph Fields and Jerome Chodorov (which is in turn based on stories by Ruth McKenney), Tony-award-winning Wonderful Town is a bright and cheery love letter to the colourful experience of living life in New York. 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 an actress who wants to pursue a life on stage. Together, these two sisters take on the world, pursuing their dreams and finding love along the way.
