Based on the play by Elmer Rice, Kurt Weill’s and Langston Hughes’ “Broadway opera,” with a score that blends operatic arias and ensembles; show tunes and dance numbers; jazz and blues; and dramatic dialogue, is a passionate, emotionally charged portrait of family and communal life among the multi-ethnic working-class and immigrant inhabitants of a crowded New York City tenement. Centered on the life-changing events of one oppressively hot summer day, Street Scene illuminates the tensions, despair, hopes and dreams of this melting-pot community. Contains mature themes including domestic violence and gunshots. Parental discretion advised.
