About the musical My Favorite Year
Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens’ nostalgic musical comedy My Favorite Year, is based on the beloved 1982 hit film starring Peter O’Toole. The original story line was fondly based on an encounter that Mel Brooks had with Errol Flynn while working together on Sid Caesar’s Your Show of Shows.
Benjy Stone the freshman writer on the 1954 hit TV show, “The King Kaiser Comedy Cavalcade.” When his hero, movie star Alan Swann, is booked as the live show’s guest, it is up to Benjy not only to assure that the star is on stage but that he is sober as well! Benjy acts as chaperone, family mediator, bouncer, alcohol treatment counselor, escort, editor and psychiatrist to the wayward actor. Will Swann turn out to be just another failed father figure to Benjy? Or will he turn out to be a real hero in the end.
