TL;DR

Kelli O’Hara and Brian d’Arcy James deliver superb performances in the bruised romance musical "Days of Wine and Roses" at Studio 54, portraying a midcentury-modern Manhattan couple descending into addiction. The production, directed by Michael Greif, skillfully avoids glamorizing alcoholism while showcasing Adam Guettel’s anxious and sumptuous score. Adapted from a 1958 teleplay and 1962 film, the show seamlessly melds jazz opera with a play, offering a deeper and warmer portrayal of the characters' struggles with addiction.
