Event Notes
By Joe DiPietro, based on the play Peccadillo by Garson Kanin. A sparkling new comedy by the two-time Tony Award Winner Joe DiPietro.
Sparks fly, silverware is thrown and mad romance blossoms in unexpected ways. Celebrated opera diva Raquel De Angelis’ temperament and sense of self-importance are legendary, and the only person whose ego is more massive and flamboyant than hers is that of her conductor husband, Italian maestro Vito De Angelis. Despite the apparent glamour of their 1957 Manhattan penthouse, their careers are on the wane and they need money to pay for their flamboyant lifestyle. Ha! – they will write their memoirs and instantly make millions! Vito becomes enamored with young Iris, his ghostwriter, and Raquel, to make him jealous, hires handsome young James to do the same. Fortunately they have two ex-opera singers serving as their butlers who smooth the way for all concerned. A glamorous, hilarious romp through the world of music, marriage, celebrity and LOVE!
