Paradise Lost and Found in Off-Broadway Musical

f. scott and zelda fitzgerald, those soaring phoenixes of twenties-era prohibition america, who ended their days in something straight out of the great gatsby author's own novels (he drinking himself to death and she locked away in a mental institute) are now the subject of an off-broadway musical at the theatre at st. clements on the west side.

this side of paradise recounts the highs and lows of the jazz-era icons through songs and of fitzgerald's corrosive friendship with ernest hemingway.

cityarts has this story about paradise writer nancy harrow and co-writer/director will pomerantz and the life of one of our country's most endearing literary couples.
