Love Life Tickets

Love Life, the only collaboration between Kurt Weill and Alan Jay Lerner, depicts a love story that takes place over 200 years of American history, through the eyes of a couple who never ages, played by Kate Baldwin (Hello, Dolly!) and Nicholas Christopher (Encores! Jelly’s Last Jam). This rarely staged production is directed by Tony winner Victoria Clark (Kimberly Akimbo) and explores the epic and intimate aspects of a marriage through a juxtaposition of heartfelt scenes and satirical vaudeville acts.

When Love Life arrived on Broadway in 1948, Weill called it "an entirely new form of theater." While it wasn't a smash hit at the time, many of the most famous and influential names in musical theater history point to Love Life as the first concept musical, an inspiration for musical theater favorites such as Cabaret, Chicago, and Company.

The show features some of Weill’s most delightful, biting, and melodic numbers, such as “Mr. Right” and “Here I’ll Stay,” which became cabaret standards covered by many, and evoke his iconic work with Bertold Brecht on The Threepenny Opera.
