Join New York Stage and Film (SAF) for a special one-night-only benefit reading of John Patrick Shanley’s Academy Award-winning film, Moonstruck. Tony Award-winning director Doug Hughes will direct the reading. Moonstruck, that classic, over-the-top tale of romance and family, is going to be celebrated at the Music Box Theatre by a decidedly starry cast on November 10. A company of notables, including Steve Buscemi, Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, Patti LuPone, John Turturro, Stevie Van Zandt, among others, will revisit the operatic courtship of Loretta Castorini and Ronny Cammareri on the streets of Brooklyn to benefit New York Stage and Film. This will be a singular event. Moonstruck has never been performed on stage, and a cast like this invites us to experience the lunacy, the exhilaration, the magic of one of the wildest romances in film history. Come and enjoy! NYWIFT is offering a pair of free tickets to see the musical. Email membership@nywift.org to enter. learn more and see the show.
Vape! The Grease Parody is a hilariously unhinged spoof of the iconic and timeless musical Grease. The show pokes loving fun at all of the wonderful moments, sexual innuendos, outrageous characters, rivalries and secret romances from the original. The hair products may have changed, but the drama, the rivalries, and the thirst for hallway clout remain timeless. It’s the musical you know and love… but dragged through a cloud of strawberry-scented vapor and a TikTok filter.. It’s the show that you want (…Ooh! Ooh! Ooh, honey!). NYWIFT is offering an exclusive discount.
