Gentleman’s Guide tells the uproarious story of Monty Navarro, a distant heir to a family fortune who sets out to jump the line of succession by—you guessed it—eliminating the eight pesky relatives (all played by one fearless man) who stand in his way. All the while, Monty has to juggle his mistress (she’s after more than just love), his fiancée (she’s his cousin but who’s keeping track?), and the constant threat of landing behind bars! Of course, it will all be worth it if he can slay his way to his inheritance…and be done in time for tea.

CHARLES BUSCH
RETURNS TO THEATER FOR THE NEW CITY
IN HIS NEW COMIC MELODRAMA
THE CONFESSION OF LILY DARE
WRITTEN BY AND STARRING CHARLES BUSCH
DIRECTED BY CARL ANDRESS
24 PERFORMANCES ONLY
PREMIERE LIMITED ENGAGEMENT STARTS APRIL 4
TICKETS ON SALE NOW AT SMARTTIX.COM
ALL SEATS PRICED AT $25
Charles Busch will return to Theater for the New City (Crystal Field, Executive Artistic Director) this spring in his uproarious new comedy The Confession of Lily Dare for a limited premiere showcase engagement. Directed by Busch’s longtime collaborator Carl Andress (The Tribute Artist, Judith of Bethulia, The Divine Sister), The Confession of Lily Dare will play a limited engagement of 24 performances from Wednesday, April 4 to Sunday, April 29 at Theater for the New City’s Johnson Theater (155 First Avenue).
Played against the gaudy tapestry of turn-of-the-century California’s notorious Barbary Coast, The Confession of Lily Dare tells the story of one woman’s tumultuous passage from convent girl to glittering cabaret chanteuse to infamous madam of a string of brothels. Behind her every move lies her greatest secret: her undying devotion to the child she was forced to abandon. The Confession of Lily Dare is the latest comic melodrama written by and starring Mr. Busch, the legendary master of theatrical parodies such as Vampire Lesbians of Sodom, Die Mommie Die!, and The Divine Sister. Here, Mr. Busch and Mr. Andress celebrate the gauzy “confession film” tearjerkers of early 1930s pre-code cinema, such as The Sin of Madelon Claudet, Frisco Jenny, and Madame X.
Tickets for The Confession of Lily Dare are on sale now via SmartTix.com. All tickets are $25 and seating is general admission.

(in order of appearance on the program)
Meryl Rosofsky (program curator, presenter, moderator) is a food scholar, writer, and teacher whose work intersects the worlds of food, medicine, and the arts. Dr. Rosofsky is an adjunct professor in Food Studies at NYU and a 2015 recipient of the Steinhardt Teaching Excellence Award. Her writing has appeared in Saveur, Gastronomica, and Savoring Gotham. Meryl is a physician by training, with an M.D. from Harvard Medical School.

In Fall 2016, she was a Fellow at the Center for Ballet and the Arts at NYU, where she launched her research on the cultural history of Tanaquil Le Clercq's The Ballet Cook Book and began to elaborate a "culinary biography" of George Balanchine.
Edward Villella (panelist) was a legendary dancer with New York City Ballet. A former championship boxer and graduate of the New York Maritime College, Mr. Villella "made virile masculinity synonymous with grace and beauty" (NYT). He originated roles in a number of George Balanchine's works, including A Midsummer Night's Dream (1962), Tarantella (1964), and the Rubies section of Jewels (1967), as well as Jerome Robbins' Dances at a Gathering (1969) and Watermill (1971). His interpretation of the title role in Balanchine's Prodigal Son was defining. Mr. Villella was founding artistic director of the Miami City Ballet (1985-2012).He is the winner of numerous awards, among them the Capezio Dance Award (1989), the Kennedy Center Honors (1997), and the National Medal of Arts (1997). His 1992 memoir, Prodigal Son: Dancing for Balanchine in a World of Pain and Magic (with Larry Kaplan), chronicles Villella's career amidst "a golden age of ballet, an amazing era in which George Balanchine single-handedly transformed the art."
Jeanne Thomas Fuchs, Ph.D. (panelist) is professor emerita at Hofstra University where she taught French and Comparative Literature for 34 years. She is a former dancer and a gifted cook, and was a close friend of legendary dance photographer Martha Swope, whom she met when both were students at the School of American Ballet (SAB). Fuchs assisted Tanaquil Le Clercq as she was creating The Ballet Cook Book, working with "Tanny" to test Mr. Balanchine's recipes (many of which remain in her repertoire to this day). She is the author of The Road to Epidauros (2011) and has published works on Molière, Marivaux, Norman Mailer, George Sand, Gene Kelly, and Fred Astaire, among others. She lives in Hollywood, Florida.
William Hamilton, M.D. (panelist) is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in foot and ankle injuries in dancers and athletes. In 1972, he became the doctor to New York City Ballet at the invitation of George Balanchine. Dr. Hamilton currently serves as the orthopedic consultant to New York City Ballet, the School of American Ballet, American Ballet Theater, and the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School at ABT. He has written numerous chapters and articles regarding injuries to dancers and has lectured around the world. Apropos of this panel, Dr. Hamilton joined Mr. Balanchine for his Russian Orthodox Easter celebrations, including midnight mass at Our Lady of the Sign and Easter feasts in Balanchine's home on the Upper West Side.

Revisit this brilliant theatre parody 15 years after its world premiere! This joyous homage to musical theatre began its journey at The York in 2003, and has been entertaining audiences across the country and around the world ever since! The Musical of Musicals (The Musical!) pays loving tongue-in-cheek tribute to Broadway’s Rodgers & Hammerstein, Stephen Sondheim, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jerry Herman, and Kander & Ebb. An innocent ingénue is threatened by her evil landlord when she can’t pay her rent. This one story is delightfully told in five hilarious musicals in these different styles in this acclaimed Off-Broadway hit, which started at The York and ran for over 500 NYC performances. Join The York for an elegant and entertaining evening which includes a pre-show gala dinner catered by a high-end neighborhood restaurant, followed by the performance and special post-show dessert reception.
