Based on the hit film, MY FAVORITE YEAR is the sweet, snappy and altogether beguiling story of young Benjy Stone, a freshman writer on early TV’s “Kaiser Comedy Cavalcade”. Assigned the daunting task of baby-sitting a boozing Hollywood swashbuckler (played in the movie by Peter O’Toole), Benjy learns about human frailty, comedy, love – and what made 1954 his favorite year. Originally produced at Lincoln Center in 1992, the score by Ahrens & Flaherty (“Ragtime”, “Once On This Island”) makes for “bright, breezy, expert entertainment” (New York Times). LOS ANGELES PREMIERE!
