A Day in Hollywood / A Night in the Ukraine

Book and lyrics by Dick Vosburgh
Music by Frank Lazarus

​A delightful double feature that celebrates the golden age of entertainment. The first act is a sparkling musical revue set in the lobby of Hollywood's historic Grauman's Chinese Theatre, where ushers sing and dance their way through classic songs, hilarious movie trivia, and a tribute to the magic of the silver screen.  The second act transports audiences to a wildly comic adventure inspired by the Marx Brothers, filled with zany characters, witty dialogue, and madcap antics.  Full of heart, humor, and show-stopping tunes, this inventive musical offers a joyous evening of laughter and nostalgia.

YPW is dedicated to the enrichment of young lives through experience in the theatre arts, and serves as a venue for cultivating young theatre performers between the ages of eight and 18. The program is one of only a handful in the nation that offers both formal training and production experience for young people. All performances are run in rep with alternating performance dates and times.
