With its premiere in 1969, _Dear World_ made *Jerry Herman* the first composer-lyricist in history to have three shows running simultaneously on Broadway, each centered around a uniquely larger-than-life leading lady. But while the names Dolly Levi (Hello, Dolly!) and Mame Dennis (Mame) are familiar to all theater lovers, _Dear World’s_ Countess Aurelia—a fabulous relic of fin-de-siecle Paris struggling to save her way of life—might not be as recognizable, despite the fact that the role won Angela Lansbury her second Tony Award after _Mame._

Now, two-time Tony winner *Donna Murphy* (Encores! Anyone Can Whistle) triumphantly revives this loveable heroine alongside *Brooks Ashmanskas* (President), *Andréa Burns* (Constance), *Ben Fankhauser* (Lawyer 3), *Christopher Fitzgerald* (Sewerman), *Ann Harada* (Gabrielle), *Kody Jauron* (Artiste), *Phillip Johnson Richardson* (Julian), *Stanley Wayne Mathis* (Prospector), *Caesar Samayoa* (Laywer 2), and *Samantha Williams* (Nina). Directed and choreographed by *Josh Rhodes* — a veteran Herman interpreter who helmed 2019’s Encores! _Mack & Mabel_ — this tuneful fable features zany plotlines, boldly drawn characters, and a deep undercurrent of environmental awareness: a singular revival you won’t want to miss.
