Private Lives on Broadway Tickets

PRIVATE LIVES premiered on August 18, 1930 at the King’s Theatre in Edinburgh. The play debuted on Broadway at the Times Square Theatre on January 27, 1931. Private Lives is about Elyot and Amanda, once married and now honeymooning with new spouses at the same hotel. What happens when they meet in these new circumstances results in a sparkling roundelay that results in what critics and audiences consider Coward’s greatest comedy.
