Based on a 1944 ballet, “Fancy Free,” developed by Leonard Bernstein and Jerome Robbins, On the Town heavily integrates dance and features some of Bernstein’s most recognizable Broadway songs.
Story:
Three sailors depart their ship with 24 hours of leave to explore New York City. Chip wants to see the sights his father has told him about, Ozzie wants to land a date with a Manhattan beauty, and Gabey wants to find one special woman - Ivy. After agreeing to all help Gabey find Ivy, they split up to cover more ground. Chip encounters a robust taxi driver, Ozzie falls for an at-times out-of-control anthropologist, and Gabey journeys to Coney Island. Friendship, perseverance, and pure adrenaline help these three sailors make the most of their time in the Big Apple.
