Theater: 59E59 Theaters / 59 East 59th St., New York, NY, 10022
Synopsis:
Young Josie Marcus is nothing like the girls back home. Passionate and fearless, she leaves behind her upper class Jewish family for the adventure of Tombstone, Arizona-home of legendary lawman Wyatt Earp. Eleven gutsy women give voice to the untold story of the American frontier in this compelling new musical.

May 25, 2011: For me, nothing is more disappointing than seeing a new show that has a fantastic premise and then fails to live up to it.
