Friday, August 8th, 2008 at 7:30pm In the style of an old fashioned musical comedy, My Favorite Year tells the story of Benjy Stone, a comedy writer who looks back fondly at 1954, when he was getting started in the TV business, fell in love for the first time and had the opportunity to meet his childhood idol, the movie star Alan Swann. The opening number of the show, “A Hundred Million People,” sets the stage for the craziness behind the scenes on a live television show and ranks among the great opening numbers in Broadway history. Though the overriding tone is comical, the show has many poignant moments as Benjy realizes that even heroes are human. 23 Tickets are Available 6 Wheelchair Accessible Seats are Available with Advance Notice Upper Darby Performing Arts Center Upper Darby High School 601 Lansdowne Ave Drexel Hill, PA 19026 Greeter Host: Open
