Ryan was last seen on Broadway in Girl From the North Country and The Girl From Plainville on Hulu. He made his Broadway debut in Dear Evan Hansen.
A trailer for the musical has been released and can be viewed here. The musical will begin previews March 24, 2023, at the St. James Theatre with an opening night set for April 26.
New York, New York will feature music supervision and arrangements by Sam Davis, orchestrations by Davis and Daryl Waters, vocal arrangements by David Loud, and music direction by Alvin Hough Jr., with Foresight Theatrical as general manager and casting by Jim Carnahan and Jason Thinger. Sonia Friedman and Tom Kirdahy are lead producers.
The show has been in development for some time now with an NYC workshop staged in 2022. Kander and Ebb’s work was last seen on Broadway with The Visit in 2015. They’re perhaps best known for their scores to Cabaret and Chicago. Ebb passed away in 2004, but Kander has remained a top musical contributor, working with Stroman on several projects already. The musical will also feature additional lyrics from Lin-Manuel Miranda. This is the first time Miranda has worked with Stroman, but Kander helped the composer-lyricist with a new song for a Hamilton collaboration in 2018.
