Tickets are now available for the sixties musical hit, which begins previews at the Broadway Theatre on March 27. Opening night is set for April 25, directed and choreographed by Rob Ashford.
Featuring a score by Burt Bacharach (music) and Hal David (lyrics) and a book by Neil Simon, Promises, Promises tells the story of Chuck Baxter (Hayes), a charming young employee at the Consolidated Life Insurance Company.
