Synopsis

Dr. Mark Bruckner, a down-to-earth psychiatrist, finds himself suddenly swept off his feet by a beautiful woman—and swept into a world he never dreamed possible. Hopelessly and helplessly head over heels, the dashing doctor must find a way to make the love of a lifetime last forever.

This newly imagined Burton Lane/Alan Jay Lerner musical is directed by Tony Award® winner Michael Meyer, who teams with acclaimed writer Peter Parnell to bring an entrancing, new story to one of Broadway's most beautiful scores, which includes "Come Back to Me," "Too Late Now" and, of course, "On A Clear Day You Can See Forever," all performed by a full 19-piece orchestra.

Filled with delightful surprises, a remarkable cast and the kind of hope only true love can bring, ON A CLEAR DAY is ready to open eyes—and hearts—all over Broadway.
