Join New York Stage and Film (SAF) for a special one-night-only benefit reading of John Patrick Shanley’s Academy Award-winning film, Moonstruck. The reading will be directed by Tony Award-Winning Director Doug Hughes.

​

Moonstruck, that classic, over the top tale of romance and family, is going to be celebrated at the Music Box Theatre by a decidedly starry cast on November 10. A company of notables including Steve Buscemi, Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, Patti LuPone, John Turturro, Stevie Van Zandt among others will revisit the operatic courtship of Loretta Castorini and Ronny Cammareri on the streets of Brooklyn to benefit New York Stage and Film. This will be a singular event. Moonstruck has never been performed on stage, and a cast like this invites us to experience the lunacy, the exhilaration, the magic of one of wildest romances in film history. Come and enjoy!
