Ethan Hawke plays lyricist Lorenz Hart on the opening night of his songwriting partner’s new Broadway musical Oklahoma!
Ethan Hawke and Richard Linklater have worked together many times over the past 30 years, and they venture into completely new territory with their latest, Blue Moon.
In this biographical drama, Hawke plays famed Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart, who was best known for his 24-year partnership with composer Richard Rodgers and songs like Blue Moon, My Funny Valentine and The Lady Is a Tramp.
The action takes place across one particularly meaningful night in Hart’s life, seven months before his untimely death. It is 31 March 1943, and Hart is in the famed Sardi’s restaurant in New York City after attending the opening night of Oklahoma!
He’s in a bitter mood as he turned down Rodgers’s offer to write the lyrics, and Rodgers went on and wrote the hugely successful show with Oscar Hammerstein, who would go on to become his new songwriting partner.
When the musical party turns up, Hart has to put on a brave face and pretend he liked...
