The action plays out in real time in Sardi’s bar in New York’s theatre district, where Hart has decamped to avoid the after-party; as he converses with bartender Eddie (Bobby Cannavale), his struggle with alcoholism, loneliness, and a deep sense of professional and personal displacement is revealed.

As Rodgers’ star ascends – his collaboration with Oscar Hammerstein II will reshape Broadway, leaving Hart increasingly marginalised – Blue Moon becomes a poignant chamber piece about the painful awareness that a once-golden partnership has irreversibly changed.
