Broadway at The Buddy Holly Hall presents 'Tootsie' musical
Broadway at the Buddy Holly Hall returns with another hit comedy in the touring production of "Tootsie," based on the story by Don McGuire and Larry Gelbart and the Columbia Pictures motion picture starring Dustin Hoffman.
This laugh-out-loud production tells the story of Michael Dorsey, a talented but difficult actor, who struggles to find work until one show-stopping act of desperation lands him the role of a lifetime.
New York-based Dorsey is a talented perfectionist who is so hard on himself and others that his agent can no longer find work for him. After a soap opera audition goes poorly, Dorsey reinvents himself as actress Dorothy Michaels and wins the part.
What was supposed to be a short-lived role turns into a long-term contract, but when Michael falls for his castmate Julie, complications develop that could wreck everything.
Featuring a hilarious Tony®-winning book by Robert Horn and an outrageously clever score by 2018 Tony-winner David Yazbek (The Band’s Visit, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels), this New York Times Critic’s Pick is “a joyful delight” (The Washington Post) that’s “so packed with punchlines, it should be called a jokebox musical!” (Bloomberg).
Buddy Holly Hall hosts the production at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, May 15-17, in the Helen Devitt Jones Theater.
Reserved seat tickets range from $40 to $75 (plus taxes and fees), depending on seating. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit https://www.buddyhollyhall.com/
