My Favorite Year follows young Benjy Stone, who, after landing his dream job as a writer’s assistant on the 1954 season of the King Kaiser Comedy Hour, ends up having a wild night on the town with legendary movie star and party animal Alan Swann. This production serves as the world premiere presentation of a revised version of the musicals, with a restructured book and several new songs.
