LoveMusik's Broadway Run to End 6/24

Manhattan Theatre Club's world premiere production of LoveMusik will end its Broadway engagement on June 24 at the Biltmore Theatre. The production will have played 24 previews and 61 regular performances, directed by Harold Prince.

Set in Berlin, Paris, Broadway and Hollywood, LoveMusik spans 25 years in the life of this complicated couple.

The show features a book by Pulitzer and Tony Award-winner Alfred Uhry Driving Miss Daisy, Parade, with musical staging by Patricia Birch A Little Night Music. Weill's music in the show features the lyrics of Maxwell Anderson, Bertolt Brecht, Howard Dietz, Roger Fernay, Ira Gershwin, Oscar Hammerstein II, Langston Hughes, Alan Jay Lerner, Maurice Magre, Ogden Nash and Elmer Rice.

In addition to Cerveris and Murphy, the production also features Outer Critics Circle Award winner, and Tony Award nominee David Pittu Bertolt Brecht and John Scherer George Davis, with Judith Blazer, Edwin Cahill, Herndon Lackey, Erik Liberman, Ann Morrison, Graham Rowat, Rachel Ulanet and Jessica Wright.

On June 23, Manhattan Theatre Club will host the season's final edition of their successful new discussion series "After Words: LoveMusik" at the Biltmore. The featured guests will be choreographer Patricia Birch and Broadway.com contributor John Simon. The discussion will be moderated by David Shookhoff, MTC's Director of Education.

LoveMusik has been produced by Manhattan Theatre Club by special arrangement with Marty Bell, Aldo Scrofani, Boyett Ostar Productions, Tracy Aron, Roger Berlind/Debra Black, Chase Mishkin, and Ted Snowdon.
