years!” (The Hollywood Reporter). Call it Tootsie! This laugh-out-loud love letter to the theater

Tony®-winning book by Robert Horn and an outrageously clever score by 2018 Tony-winner
David Yazbek (The Band’s Visit, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels), this New York Times Critic’s Pick is “a joyful delight” (The Washington Post) that’s “so packed with punchlines, it should be called a jokebox musical!” (Bloomberg). “In these turbulent times, when the world seems out of balance, we need a place to let the good times roll,” raves Rolling Stone. “Tootsie is it!”
