First Lady Suite, four short musicals centering on well-known ladies of the White House, has returned to the New York stage. First seen in a brief run at the Public Theater, the piece is now being given a production at off-Broadway's Transport Group that inspired
our critic to rave, "Intellectually stunning and emotionally breathtaking,
First Lady Suite may be the musical highlight of the season." We met up with the cast and director Jack Cummings III at the opening night bash at Connelly Theatre on far East 4th Street.
