THE NANCE
A new play by Douglas Carter Beane Directed by Jack O'Brien with Nathan Lane Jenni Barber, Andréa Burns, Cady Huffman, Jonny Orsini and Lewis J. Stadlen

"A HEARTFELT NEW PLAY SET IN THE TWILIGHT OF BURLESQUE."
-Brantley, The New York Times"NATHAN LANE IS AS HEARTBREAKING AS HE IS HILARIOUS!"
-Garder, USA Today

In the 1930s, burlesque impresarios welcomed the hilarious comics and musical parodies of vaudeville to their decidedly lowbrow niche. A headliner called "the nance" was a stereotypically camp homosexual and master of comic double entendre - usually played by a straight man.
Douglas Carter Beane's THE NANCE recreates the naughty, raucous world of burlesque's heyday and tells the backstage story of Chauncey Miles and his fellow performers. At a time when it is easy to play gay and dangerous to be gay, Chauncey's uproarious antics on the stage stand out in marked contrast to his offstage life.

Directed by 3-time Tony Award winner Jack O'Brien, THE NANCE welcomes 2-time Tony Award winner Nathan Lane back to Broadway as Chauncey.

Thank you very much for your interest in the show.
