Glimpses of the Moon January 14, 2008

'Glimpses of the Moon' is the first original musical created specifically for the intimate wood-paneled Oak Room of the Algonquin Hotel. Set in 1922, 'Glimpses of the Moon 'follows the jazzy whirl of Manhattan society, from champagne-soaked dinner parties, to luxurious vacation cottages and back to New York's elegant hotels. It is one of Edith Wharton's few comedies, though not without its share of heartaches. Popular but penniless, Suzy Branch and her friend Nick Lansing devise the ultimate fund-raising scheme: to marry and live off the wedding gifts while they help one another find suitable millionaires. The plan works perfectly-- until they fall in love. Each performance will feature a special guest star appearance by various well-known cabaret singers.
