Living on Love starring Renée Flemming at the Longacre

Producers Scott Landis and Philip Morgaman have confirmed that 4-time Grammy Award winner Renée Fleming will make her Broadway debut in the new comedy by Joe DiPietro Living on Love at the Longacre Theatre from 1 April, with an official opening on 20 April 2015, booking to 2 August 2015.

Directed by Kathleen Marshall, the production was first produced and presented in July 2014 in Williamstown Massachusetts by the Williamstown Theatre Festival.

Fleming stars as celebrated diva Raquel De Angelis. When Vito, her larger-than-life maestro husband, becomes enamoured with the lovely young lady hired to ghost-write his largely fictional autobiography, Raquel retaliates by hiring her own handsome, young scribe to chronicle her life as an opera star. Sparks fly, silverware is thrown, and romance blossoms in the most unexpected ways.

Renée Fleming is known as one of America's most acclaimed singers. In 2013, the President awarded her America's highest honour for an individual artist, the National Medal of Arts. In February she became the first classical singer ever to perform "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the Super Bowl. Winner of the 2013 Best Classical Vocal Grammy Award, she has sung at momentous occasions around the world- from the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony to the Diamond Jubilee Concert for Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace.

Writer Joe DiPietro has won two Tony Awards, a Drama Desk Award and 2 Outer Critics Awards. His new play, 'The Second Mrs. Wilson', debuts at The Long Wharf Theatre in May. His Broadway credits include 'Nice Work If You Can Get It', 'Memphis', and 'All Shook Up'.

Tickets for the prodution go on sale to the general public on Monday 29 Dec 2014. - by Dom O'Hanlon
