Studio 54 (New York City, NY)
This musical by the composer/lyricist team behind The Fantasticks is based on The Rainmaker, the Broadway play that was made into a movie with Burt Lancaster and Katharine Hepburn. During a heat wave in 1930s Texas, when everyone is longing for rain, it appears Lizzie (Audra McDonald) is on the verge of becoming an "old maid." When Starbuck, a charismatic rainmaker, arrives in town, Lizzie's world is turned upside down.

Writer and actress Carrie Fisher tells her story in the hit one-woman show Wishful Drinking, now at Studio 54. It's an incredible tale, from her childhood as the daughter of film stars Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher and stepdaughter of Elizabeth Taylor, to her big break starring as Princess Leia in Star Wars, her marriage to Paul Simon, and many more shocking and hilarious Hollywood stories.

Wonderful show. The seats were great (center orchestra 6 rows back). I would definitely use Goldstar to purchase tickets in the future.
What a magnificent show! Audra was truly fantastic as the heroine, Lizzie Curry (even though it's not easy to see her as a "plain Jane"). She was radiant from the start to the end. The set and the lighting designs were also very effective. But, most of all, Bobby Steggert's Jimmy was a revelation. He absolutely captured the innocent and fun-loving teenage spirit. Casting director of "Spring Awakening" should take a note; he'll be an ideal candidate for any future replacement. After I saw the "Company" last year, I had predicted it'd be the Best Musical Revival Tony winner. Now I am not so certain as this revival of "110 in the Shade" is simply marvelous!
Wonderful show for my entire group. Great space. Great cast. Fantastic voices. The experience was much better than it is currently at many theatres. It felt very much like a positive, high-end experience, and the show delivered on that impression.

In the middle of a heat wave in 1930s Texas, when everyone is longing for rain, or a breeze, Lizzie Curry (Audra McDonald) is on the verge of becoming a hopeless old maid. Her wit, intelligence and skills as a homemaker can't make up for the fact that she can't find true love. Even the town sheriff, for whom she harbors a secret yen, won't take a chance. However, when a charismatic rainmaker named Starbuck (Steve Kazee) enters the town and her family's life, Lizzie's world is turned upside down.
