Synopsis
Rave reviews greeted the recent 42nd Street Moon Theatre's reworked revival of this Tony Award nominee, which originally starred Joel Grey as Charles the Dauphin, the bastard son of Queen Isabella and a dissolute ne'er-do-well.
This so-called "Goodtime Charley" meets his match in the Maid of Orleans, Joan of Arc.
With her prodding and inspiration, "Goodtime Charley" grows from a fun-loving woman-chaser into Charles the VII, King of France, while Joan follows her voices to a greater fate as martyr and saint.
Press Reviews
"Grossman's melodic, toe-tapping score [and] Hackaday's witty, intelligent, often moving lyrics make Goodtime Charley a special musical."
