Music and Lyrics by Noël Coward
Production Devised by Roderick Cook
Directed by Dona Roman
Music direction by Erin Lippard
"Interspersing his songs with biographical anecdotes and sketches from his various writings, OH, COWARD celebrates the life and work of British legend Noël Coward.A wildly successful playwright, composer, lyricist, librettist, director and actor, Coward did it all with equal skill and abandon.
His work and personality enchanted the world for over fifty years, from the time he wrote and starred in his first musical at the age of twenty-three.
In countless songs, musicals and plays (including the beloved Private Lives and Blithe Spirit), the multi-talented Coward made an indelible mark on the international theatrical landscape with his unique 'talent to amuse.'
For sheer sophistication, style and urbane wit, only Wilde and Cole Porter could touch him."
