From America's master of Contemporary Broadway Comedy, here is another revealing comedy behind the scenes in the entertainment world, this time near the heart of the theatre district. 45 Seconds from Broadway takes place in the legendary "Polish Tea Room" on New York's 47th Street. Here Broadway theatre personalities washed-up and on-the-rise, gather to schmooz even as they lose. This touching valentine to New York offers great acting roles as Neil Simon continues his exploration of the foibles and funny in the human comedy.
45 Seconds from Broadway was first presented on Broadway by Emanuel Azenberg, Ira Pittelman, James Nederlander, Scott Nederlander, and Keven McCollum at the Richard Rogers Theatre on November 11, 2001. It was directed by Jerry Zaks.
