This delightful, warm and moving Broadway hit was developed by Tony Award winning director Michael Bennett of A Chorus Line fame. Based on the T.V. special "The Queen of the Stardust Ballroom," it concerns a widowed grandmother who decides to start living again by going to the Stardust Ballroom. There she meets a mailman and falls in love again. But: a complication-- he's married. Naturally, this outrages one and all except the two lovers, who seem to have found life, and love, all over again. "It brings class to Broadway."-- N.Y. Post. "Flows with grace and glows with affect."-- Christian Science Monitor. "Ballroom is a major achievement in widening our understanding of the potential of musical theatre."-- Women's Wear Daily.
