On the Twentieth Century, Starring 2015 Tony Nominee Kristin Chenoweth & Peter Gallagher, Extends on Broadway

This is a journey we're thrilled will be taking a little longer! The Tony nominated revival of On the Twentieth Century will now run through July 19; the show had previously been set to shutter on July 5. Kristin Chenoweth received a Tony nod for her performance in the musical and stars opposite Peter Gallagher at the American Airlines Theatre.

On the Twentieth Century features a book and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green and music by Cy Coleman. It follows a down-and-out Broadway producer named Oscar Jaffe (Gallagher), who struggles to convince his former muse and lover, Lily Garland (Chenoweth), now a successful film actress, to return to Broadway in a (non-existent) epic drama about Mary Magdalene. While dealing with Lily Garland's jealous new lover and a religious fanatic aboard a luxury train, Oscar hopes he can lure her back to the stage and salvage his sinking career.

In addition to Chenoweth and Gallagher, the cast includes 2015 Tony nominee Andy Karl, Mark Linn‐Baker, Michael McGrath and Mary Louise Wilson. Scott Ellis also garnered a Tony nod for his direction of the Roundabout production.

On the Twentieth Century premiered on Broadway in 1978, and won Tony Awards for Best Original Score and Best Book of a Musical.
