Applause

 Applause is based on the 1950 film All About Eve and the short story on which the movie is based, Mary Orr's "The Wisdom of Eve". The story centers on aging star Margo Channing, who innocently takes a fledgling actress under her wing, unaware that the ruthless Eve is plotting to steal her career and possibly her man. Scored by Charles Strouse, the composer of Bye Bye Birdie and Annie, Applause in its the original 1970 Broadway run was nominated for ten Tony Awards and ultimately won four: the overall production won the Tony Award for Best Musical, Lauren Bacall  for Best Actress in a Musical, and Ron Field for both  Best Direction of a Musical and Best Choreography. The show is directed by Manuel Morales and produced by Eva Husson-Stockhamer. Our music director is Evan Kos and our choreographer is Brianna Husson-Stockhamer.
