Strippers, Hustlers & Philosophers? Tickets On Sale Now for Lisa D'Amour's Airline Highway on Broadway

Tickets are now available for the New York premiere of Airline Highway by Pulitzer Prize finalist Lisa D’Amour. The production, directed by Tony winner Joe Mantello, will play Broadway’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre starting April 1, 2015 and open officially on April 23.

Airline Highway is an ode to the outcasts that make life a little more interesting. In the parking lot of The Hummingbird, a once-glamorous motel on New Orleans’ infamous Airline Highway, a group of friends gather. A rag-tag collection of strippers, hustlers, and philosophers have come together to celebrate the life of Miss Ruby, an iconic burlesque performer who has requested a funeral before she dies. The party rages through the night as old friends resurface to pay their respects.

The play will premiere at Steppenwolf Theatre Company’s Downstairs Theatre in Chicago from December 4 through February 8, 2015. Casting and creative team for the Manhattan Theatre Club limited engagement will be announced at a later date.
