| HANGOVER SQUARE A NEW MUSICAL BASED ON THE NOVEL BY PATRICK HAMILTON SEPTEMBER 19, 2024 AT 54 BELOW, BROADWAY'S SUPPER CLUB, www.54Below.org 54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents Hangover Square by writing team Richard Baker and Charlie Ryall on September 19 at 9:30pm. Be transported at 54 Below to London, 1939, for an unforgettable evening featuring the songs of Hangover Square , a new musical adapted from the novel by Patrick Hamilton, written by up-and-coming UK writing team Baker & Ryall. Hangover Square follows George Harvey Bone in his hopeless infatuation with the cool, unobtainable Netta. As he fights against loneliness, alcoholism, and the unflinching march of the world towards war, can anything put a stop to George's spiral into darkness? Subtitled "A Tale of Darkest Earl's Court," Hangover Square peers into the murky depths of what it is to be human and at war with oneself, whilst exploring the bars, pubs, hostelries, and characters inhabiting the seedy London underworld at the very moment the world as we knew it changed forever. With a score and lyrics by Olivier Award-nominated Richard Baker (Peter Pan Goes Wrong, Mischief Movie Night ) and book and lyrics by Charlie Ryall, whose "multi-layered script is the star of this show" (The Spectator for Tasting Notes), you're sure to witness history in the making. Hangover Square plays 54 Below (254 West 54th Street) on September 19, 2024 at 9:30pm. Cover charges are $29 (includes $4 in fees) - $40 (includes $5 in fees.)
