Hallelujah, "Carmen Jones" Will Return to the New York City Stage

Classic Stage Company just announced that they are mounting Carmen Jones in 2018 - the first major New York revival since the musical debut on Broadway 75 years ago! 

As the Second World War rages, parachute maker Carmen Jones wages her own quarrel involving an airman and a boxer. Using the score from Georges Bizet’s opera Carmen, this adaptation by Oscar Hammerstein II resets the story with an all African-American cast.

BOOK AND LYRICS BY OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN II MUSIC BY GEORGES BIZET DIRECTED BY JOHN DOYLE

I can finally cross this musical off my New York City Stage Wish List. According to the CSC website, further details to follow; tickets go on sale April 2018.
