Joe Battaglia and the New York Big Band Headline the Edison Ballroom

SUMMER will open on Broadway at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, 205 West 46th Street on April 23, 2018. The three actresses who will play the role of musical icon Donna Summer will be Tony Award winner LaChanze (The Color Purple, Once on This Island) as “Diva Donna,” Ariana DeBose (A Bronx Tale,Hamilton) as “Disco Donna” and Storm Lever (Freaky Friday) as “Duckling Donna.” SUMMER features a book by Colman Domingo, Robert Cary and Des McAnuff, with songs by Donna Summer, Giorgio Moroder, Paul Jabara and others and will be directed by Des McAnuff and choreographed by Sergio Trujillo, with music supervised by Ron Melrose. SUMMER is produced by Tommy Mottola and the Dodgers. She was a girl from Boston with a voice from heaven, who shot through the stars from gospel choir to dance floor diva. But what the world didn’t know was how Donna Summer risked it all to break through barriers, becoming the icon of an era, and the supreme queen for every diva who followed. With a score featuring more than 20 of Summer’s classic hits including “Love to Love You Baby;” “Bad Girls” and “Hot Stuff,” this electric experience is a moving tribute to the voice of a generation. Tickets are available through www.Ticketmaster.com online or by phone at 877-250-2929.
