The pride of the New York skyline, the Empire State Building, is the subject of Caroline Sherman and Robert Hull's original musical, which looks at the archetypical skyscraper in three different time periods: the 1920s, when it was conceived; the Great Depression, when it was built; and the U.S. Bicentennial in 1976. Tony-winning actress Cady Huffman directs a cast of 20 in the world premiere.
