Roundabout proudly presented a one-night-only Reunion Benefit Reading.
Alec Baldwin and Anne Heche reunited with director Walter Bobbie and members of the 2004 Broadway production of Ken Ludwig’s hilarious adaption of Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur’s Twentieth Century.
All proceeds benefited Roundabout Theatre Company’s many programs.
Bankrupt, with his career on a downslide, egomaniacal Broadway director Oscar Jaffee (Baldwin) boards the Twentieth Century Limited and encounters his former discovery and ex-chorus girl Lily Garland (Heche), now a temperamental Hollywood star. He’ll do anything to get her back under contract and back in his bed, but his former protégé will have nothing to do with him.
All of the action takes place on board the legendary Twentieth Century train from Chicago to New York City where Oscar has 20 hours to persuade Lily to return to Broadway in his upcoming show. If he fails, it’s the end of the line.
