THE MOUNTAINTOP
Ms. Leve joined forces with producers Elaine Krauss, Jennifer Manocherian, and Peg Golden, to form Raise the Roof 7, co-producer for The Mountaintop on Broadway.
Taking place on April 3, 1968, The Mountaintop is a gripping reimagining of events the night before the assassination of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
After delivering his legendary 'I've Been to the Mountaintop' speech, an exhausted Dr. King (Samuel L. Jackson) retires to his room at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis while a storm rages outside.
When a mysterious stranger (Angela Bassett) arrives with some surprising news, King is forced to confront his destiny and his legacy to his people.
"THE MOUNTAINTOP is A WONDERFUL TRIP, as audacious as it is INVENTIVE. THE INEVITABLE STANDING OVATIONS are for DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. as much as for SAMUEL L. JACKSON, ANGELA BASSETT and KATORI HALL. THIS IS PLAYWRITING WITHOUT A NET – A MAGICAL TOUR THROUGH HISTORY.~ Associated Press
"IT'S A THRILL to report that KATORI HALL'S THE MOUNTAINTOP, which arrives with POWERFUL FISTFULS OF SPARKY CHEMISTRY BETWEEN SAMUEL L. JACKSON & ANGELA BASSETT, CRACKLES WITH THEATRICALITY AND HUMANITY." ~ Newsday

Ms. Leve joined forces with producers Jennifer Manocherian and Elaine Krauss, to form Raise the Roof 6, co-producer for The Umbrellas of Cherbourg at The Gielgud Theatre on London's West End.
It is 1957 and we are in the French port of Cherbourg. Jazz, sailors, vin rouge...and, of course, l'amour! Boy meets girl, and music and rain dance in the air.
Our lovers whisper "je t'aime" with the certainty of youth, but when confronted by war (and one dominatrix of a mother!), can their love survive? Kneehigh's award-winning Director Emma Rice returns to
direct one of her first major new works since the West End and Broadway hit, Brief Encounter. Based on the much loved 1964 French film by Jacques Demy, and with a score by the Grammy and Oscar
winning composer Michel Legrand (Yentl, Windmills of your Mind), UMBRELLAS features two of Legrand's greatest songs "Watch What Happens" and "I Will Wait For You". Expect romance, heart-break
and surprise with this re-imagined new adaptation of the cult French musical film.

Winner 2009 Tony Award- Best Play Revival
Winner 2009 Drama Desk Award for Best Play Revival and Best Direction of a Play
Winner 2009 Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Play Revival and Best Direction of a Play
DIRECT FROM A SOLD OUT RUN AT THE OLD VIC IN LONDON, ALAN AYCKBOURN'S COMIC TRILOGY THE NORMAN CONQUESTS IS PLAYING ON BROADWAY AT THE CIRCLE IN THE SQUARE THEATER.
Comprised of three full length plays – Table Manners, Living Together and Round and Round the Garden – THE NORMAN CONQUESTS is ingeniously
written to be enjoyed either individually or as a trilogy, in any order. The action is simultaneous and each exit in one play turns out to be
an entrance in another, as the audience follows desperate lothario Norman in his attempts to seduce his sister-in-law Annie,
charm his brother-in-law's wife Sarah, and woo his estranged wife Ruth, all within a disastrously hilarious weekend of eating,
drinking and misunderstanding. With his characteristic compassionate humor, Ayckbourn explores the disappointments bubbling beneath the surface
as his characters' dreams of love and fulfillment go amiss.

"UPROARIOUS! A modern classic! HILARIOUS AND HEARTBREAKING. Perfectly cast, brilliantly calibrated." - Karen Fricker, VARIETY
