Following the world premiere of *Days of Wine and Roses* at Atlantic Theater Company, the new musical, directed by Michael Greif (*Rent*, *Dear Evan Hansen*) and starring Kelli O'Hara and Brian d'Arcy James, is now on Broadway for eight more weeks only. Get *Days of Wine and Roses* tickets on New York Theatre Guide.

The *Days of Wine and Roses* musical marks bookwriter Craig Lucas and composer/lyricist Adam Guettel's first collaboration since 2005's *The Light in the Piazza*, which was nominated for 11 Tony Awards (including Best Musical) and won six. Like that beloved hit, *Days of Wine and Roses* is based on a 1962 film and promises romance and heartbreak in equal measure.

*Days of Wine and Roses* follows Joe (James) and Kirsten (O'Hara), a couple who fall in love in 1950s New York — and shortly thereafter fall into alcoholism. The power of their love is repeatedly tested as they struggle to rebuild their family without ruining each other.

Kirsten and Joe's story began as a 1958 teleplay by JP Miller, airing as part of the anthology drama series *Playhouse 90*. Four years later, Miller adapted his script into a screenplay, and the 1962 movie won the Oscar for Best Song. Its stars, Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick, also earned nominations.

Reprising their roles as the troubled lovers in *Days of Wine and Roses* on Broadway are two stage veterans. Tony Award winner and seven-time nominee Kelli O'Hara is known for her roles in *The King and I*; *Kiss Me, Kate*; *South Pacific*, *The Light in the Piazza*, and many more. Three-time Tony nominee Brian d'Arcy James recently starred as the Baker in *Into the Woods* on Broadway, and he's also known for roles in *Shrek the Musical*, *Sweet Smell of Success*, and *Something Rotten!*

Days of Wine and Roses Tickets | The Official NY Theatre Guide

Brian d'Arcy James and Kelli O'Hara star in this new musical from the creators of the enchanting *The Light in the Piazza*. Follow Kirsten and Joe, a couple struggling with alcoholism as they try to build a family in 1950s New York, in this show based on the 1962 movie.

Before the *Days of Wine and Roses* musical premiered off Broadway at Atlantic Theater Company in 2023, its story began as a 1958 teleplay and 1962 film. The 1962 film starred Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick, both of whom earned Oscar nominations. The art direction and costume design also received nods, and the title theme won the top prize for Best Song.

The musical adaptation features new songs by Adam Guettel and a book by Craig Lucas, adapted from JP Miller's screenplay. Days of Wine and Roses is the duo's first musical collaboration since *The Light in the Piazza* in 2003, which earned six Tony Awards, including Best Original Score. The show got 11 total nominations, including Best Musical.

Directing *Days of Wine and Roses* is Michael Greif, who's known for staging musicals like *Rent* and *Dear Evan Hansen*. He directs two musical veterans in the lead roles: O’Hara is a Tony winner for *The King and I* and a nominee for *The Bridges of Madison County*, *South Pacific*, *The Pajama Game*, and *Kiss Me, Kate*. James is a three-time nominee for *Shrek*, *Sweet Smell of Success*, and *Something Rotten!*, and he just starred in *Into the Woods* on Broadway.

## What to watch for

- *Days of Wine and Roses* got its title from an 1896 poem written in Latin. A portion of the poem translates to, "They are not long, the days of wine and roses: / Out of a misty dream / Our path emerges for a while, then closes / Within a dream."
- The *Days of Wine and Roses* teleplay inspired Bill Withers to write "Ain't No Sunshine," one of his greatest hits.
- O'Hara collaborated with Lucas and Guettel before, earning a Best Featured Actress Tony nomination for *The Light in the Piazza*.
- Coincidentally, *Days of Wine and Roses* and *The Light in the Piazza* are both based on films that came out in 1962.
- Lucas and Guettel had a moment off Broadway in 2023. New York City Center staged a limited-run revival of *The Light in the Piazza* from June 21-25, closing the same day as *Days of Wine and Roses* off Broadway did.

Broadway favorites Kelli O'Hara and Brian d'Arcy James take the stage in this adaptation of the classic 1962 film. When lovers Joe and Kirsten fall in love and then into alcoholism, can their relationship be saved? See this romantic drama reimagined by the writers of *The Light in the Piazza*.

"They are not long, the days of wine and roses," wrote Ernest Dowson in an 1896 poem that later lent the phrase to a [1958 teleplay, 1962 film](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/guide-to-the-days-of-wine-and-roses-musical-on-broadway), and now, their [Broadway musical adaptation](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/27504-days-of-wine-and-roses-tickets). Translation: Life's best times are fleeting. A case in point is the 16-week stint when the talents of actors [Kelli O'Hara](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/kelli-ohara) and [Brian d'Arcy James](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/brian-darcy-james) (both multi-Tony nominees giving career-best performances) and writers Adam Guettel and Craig Lucas (premiering their first new Broadway show since 2005's *The Light in the Piazza*) are all on one stage.

Since its Off-Broadway premiere in 2023, the *Days of Wine and Roses* musical, featuring largely the [same company](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/kelli-ohara-and-brian-darcy-james-team-up-in-days-of-wine-and-roses), has aged like, well, wine. The story begins light and sweet before quickly revealing heavier notes: Kirsten loves Joe; Joe loves Kirsten. Joe also loves liquor. Before long, former teetotaler Kirsten loves liquor, too, in part because she grows to believe Joe will only love her if she does.

The gut-wrenching tragedy of *Days of Wine and Roses* is watching that dynamic slowly reverse: When Joe finally manages to claw his way up onto the wagon, Kirsten seeks to pull him back down to drown with her at the bottom of the bottle.

Water imagery is constant in the musical, showing how completely drink engulfs Joe and Kirsten's lives. (Notably, the house of Kirsten's father, a reliably sobering presence as played by Byron Jennings, is the one place absent of the motif — the couple and their daughter, Lila, regularly visit there as a sort of rehab.) No metaphor is better than that of the standout song "As the Water Loves the Stone," a sweet ballad until you remember that the caress of water erodes stone. The implication is clear: Joe and Kirsten are eating away at each other drop by drop.

In less skilled hands, these flawed characters could push the audience away or else flatten into scapegoats. But James and O'Hara don't let that happen for a second. O'Hara's Kirsten contains multitudes beneath a sheltered, sunny air, including a zeal for what her favorite books describe as "the human desire penetrate the unknown" — like the world of booze. James's Joe is magnetic such that when he trades his drunken aggressiveness for tenderness, we immediately root for him again. James and O'Hara's sparkling chemistry is effortless, entirely convincing us of their deep love even in their darkest moments — and those moments become all the more arresting as a result.

The perfect pair also saves the show from its weak spots; namely, Guettel's lyrics that wash over the ears and leave little aftertaste, more than once failing to convince that they express emotions big enough for song. As a result, though, I was more closely attuned to Lucas's book, economical but quietly well-crafted, and Guettel's score, lilting and (in keeping with the water theme) regularly nautical.

While *Days* certainly doesn't go down easy, it's energizing to see a Broadway show, including director Michael Greif, handle a mature theme like alcoholism with precision and compassion. Cheers to that.

Kelli O'Hara is in *Days of Wine and Roses* off Broadway.

Kelli Christine O'Hara&nbsp;was born on April 16, 1976&nbsp;in Elk City, Oklahoma and is a Tony Award-winning actress. Finally winning a Tony Award in 2015 for her performance as Anna Leonowens in the Lincoln Center Theater revival of&nbsp;The King and I, she has&nbsp;earned six additional&nbsp;nominations throughout her career for her roles in&nbsp;The Bridges of Madison County,&nbsp;Nice Work If You Can Get It,&nbsp;South Pacific,&nbsp;The Pajama Game,&nbsp;The Light in the Piazza,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Kiss Me, Kate!

O'Hara attended&nbsp;Deer Creek High School and went on to study music, graduating with a bachelor's degree in&nbsp;vocal performance and opera from Oklahoma City University. She was taught by voice teacher Florence Birdwell, who had also previously tutored another Broadway veteran: <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/kristin-chenoweth">Kristin Chenoweth</a>.

Her first notable professional job was in the ensemble of the 1999 national tour of&nbsp;Jekyll &amp; Hyde, which would lead to her joining the Broadway company in June 2000 and making her Broadway debut. She remained with the production until its final performance on January 7, 2001. O'Hara quickly booked her next Broadway credit as&nbsp;Young Hattie in the Broadway revival of&nbsp;Follies&nbsp;from March 2001, eventually assuming&nbsp;the role of Young Phyllis. She went on to appear as Susan in the Broadway premiere of&nbsp;Sweet Smell of Success&nbsp;in spring 2002 and made her Off-Broadway debut as Albertine&nbsp;for the <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/playwrights-horizons">Playwrights Horizons</a> production of&nbsp;My Life with Albertine in spring 2003. The next year, she was cast as&nbsp;Lucy Westenra in the Broadway premiere of&nbsp;Dracula, the Musical, which ran from July 30, 2004&nbsp;to January 2, 2005.

O'Hara's career on stage reached new heights following her performance as&nbsp;Clara Johnson in the Lincoln Center Theater production of&nbsp;The Light in the Piazza. She played the role from&nbsp;March 17 through December 4, 2005&nbsp;and earned her first Tony Award nomination. She received Tony Award nominations for all of her subsequent&nbsp;appearances on&nbsp;Broadway until 2016. Her résumé includes the roles of&nbsp;Babe Williams in the 2006 revival of&nbsp;The Pajama Game,&nbsp;Ensign Nellie Forbush in the Lincoln Center Theater revival of&nbsp;South Pacific,&nbsp;Billie Bendix in the 2012 premiere of&nbsp;Nice Work If You Can Get It&nbsp;(also earning a Grammy Award nomination for Best Musical Theater Album&nbsp;in 2013), and&nbsp;Francesca in the 2014 premiere of&nbsp;The Bridges of Madison County. At that point in her career, O'Hara was a five-time Tony Award nominee, and she also found time to appear off Broadway as Regan in <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/public-theater">The Public Theater's</a> 2011 revival of&nbsp;King Lear. She also&nbsp;returned to Playwrights Horizons as&nbsp;Cathy Whitaker in 2013's&nbsp;Far From Heaven.

Her various concert stagings include leading roles in Sunday in the Park with George,&nbsp;My Fair Lady,&nbsp;Bells Are Ringing,&nbsp;She Loves Me, and&nbsp;Brigadoon, and her <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/the-metropolitan-opera">Metropolitan Opera</a> credits include&nbsp;The Merry Widow&nbsp;in 2014 and&nbsp;Così fan tutte&nbsp;in 2018.

She finally won a&nbsp;Tony Award in 2015 for her widely acclaimed performance as Anna Leonowens in the Lincoln Center Theater revival of&nbsp;The King and I, starring in the production from&nbsp;March 12, 2015 to April 17, 2016. She would reprise the role and make&nbsp;her West End debut in&nbsp;The King and I&nbsp;at the London Palladium from June to September 2018, with that production being broadcast to cinemas worldwide in November 2018.

Although primarily known for her career on the Broadway stage, O'Hara has also appeared in numerous films and television series, including the role of Mrs. Darling in NBC's live televised musical Peter Pan Live!&nbsp;and a 2018&nbsp;Emmy Award-nominated performance as&nbsp;Katie Bonner in The Accidental Wolf. Other notable screen credits include Sex and the City 2,&nbsp;Numb3rs,&nbsp;13 Reasons Why,&nbsp;Blue Bloods,&nbsp;and Masters of Sex. She also starred in the popular Live from Lincoln Center&nbsp;series twice —&nbsp;as&nbsp;Nellie Forbush in&nbsp;South Pacific&nbsp;in 2010 and as&nbsp;Julie Jordan in&nbsp;Carousel&nbsp;in 2013.

Following Roundabout Theatre Company's critically acclaimed 2016 benefit concert of the classic Cole Porter musical&nbsp;Kiss Me, Kate!, O'Hara&nbsp;reprised&nbsp;the dual roles of Kate and&nbsp;Lilli Vanessi in a fully staged Broadway revival at <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/studio-54">Studio 54</a> from&nbsp;February 14 through June 30, 2019, earning yet another Tony Award nomination.

The Studio 54 first opened in 1927 as the Gallo Opera House, and it operated as a music hall, broadcast soundstage, and nightclub (under the name Casino de Paree) until entrepreneurs Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager bought the building.

Under their ownership, the Studio 54 nightclub opened in 1977 and quickly became one of the world's most famous clubs, with frequent celebrity guests. The venue also operated under the name of The Ritz from 1989 until early 1993, and then as Cabaret Royale until 1995.

Roundabout Theatre Company's production of *Cabaret* played at Studio 54 in 1998 after the collapse of a construction hoist blocked access to the Henry Miller (now Stephen Sondheim) Theatre. In 2003, Roundabout purchased the building, and the company still hosts Broadway productions there and rents the venue out to other producers.
