About the Show

Neil Simon's Tony Award-winning Comedy

Set in 1940s Brooklyn, this Tony Award-winning finale to Neil Simon's autobiographical trilogy follows brothers Eugene and Stanley Jerome as they land their first professional writing gig for radio.

As their careers take off, life at home begins to unravel, and the pressures of family and ambition collide in ways both hilarious and deeply moving. It is a coming-of-age story about chasing your dreams and finding your voice.

By Neil Simon
Direction by Julian Wiles
