Tickets Are Now on Sale for Lynn Nottage & Ricky Ian Gordon's Intimate Apparel Opera Off-Broadway

Tickets are now on sale for the upcoming world premiere opera Intimate Apparel, based on the award-winning play by two-time Pulitzer winner Lynn Nottage. Tony winner Bartlett Sher will direct and Tony nominee Camille A. Brown will choreograph the off-Broadway production, slated to begin previews on February 27 and open on March 23 at the Mitzi E.

Featuring a book by Nottage and music by Ricky Ian Gordon, Intimate Apparel tells the story of Esther, a lonely, single African-American woman in 1905 New York City who makes her living sewing beautiful corsets and ladies' undergarments. Seeking love and romance, Esther embarks on a letter-writing relationship with a mysterious suitor laboring on the Panama Canal and realizes that only her self-reliance and certainty of her own worth will see her through life's challenges.

The cast will be headed by Kearstin Piper Brown as Esther, along with Dominic Armstrong, Justin Austin, Errin Duane Brooks, Helena Brown, Chanáe Curtis, Adrienne Danrich, Leroy Davis, Matthew Gamble, Arnold Livingston Geis, Christian Mark Gibbs, Tesia Kwarteng, Anna Laurenzo, Justin Lee Miller, Jasmine Muhammad, Naomi Louisa O’Connell, Kimberli Render and Krysty Swann.

Chabrelle Williams will play the role of Esther at Wednesday and Saturday matinee performances.
