Bullets Over Broadway at the Paramount February 4–6 Based on the screenplay of the acclaimed 1994 film by Woody Allen and Douglas McGrath, Bullets Over Broadway brings the talents of Woody Allen and Tony Award–winning director Susan Stroman together for the first time. Hailed by Time magazine as "musical theatre gold," Bullets Over Broadway is the hilarious comedy about the making of a Broadway show. It's the story of a young playwright who, in desperate need of financial backing for his next show, accepts an offer he can't refuse from a mobster looking to please his girlfriend. Don't miss what e New Yorker calls "a fun machine from start to finish." Loaded with big laughs, colorful characters, and the songs that made the 1920s roar, Bullets Over Broadway is bringing musical comedy back with a bang.
