Overview
Based on the CBS television movie The Queen of the Stardust Ballroom starring Maureen Stapleton, Ballroom is the story of aging widow Bea Asher, who begins life anew at the Stardust Ballroom, an old-school dance palace in the Bronx. At the ballroom, Bea meets a middle-aged mailman named Al, and the two soon fall in love. Unfortunately, Al is trapped in an unhappy marriage, and he refuses to leave his wife. Bea’s children and friends advise her against starting up a romance with a married man, but Bea – having found a new life and purpose – decides that “fifty percent” of someone you love is better than “all of anybody else.” The delightfully honest and moving Broadway production was developed by Tony Award-winning director Michael Bennett, co-creator of A Chorus Line.
