The reviews are in for the new musical Flying Over Sunset, starring Tony nominees Tony Yazbeck, Harry Hadden-Paton, and Carmen Cusack. The world premiere production from Lincoln Center Theater officially opened December 13 at the Vivian Beaumont Theater. Previews began November 11.
The musical, with a book by director James Lapine, music by Tom Kitt, and lyrics by Michael Korie, is inspired by the lives of writer Aldous Huxley (Hadden-Paton), playwright, diplomat, and congresswoman Clare Boothe Luce (Cusack), and film star Cary Grant (Yazbeck)—each of whom experimented with the drug LSD.
