It’s March 31, 1943, and lyricist Lorenz Hart (Hawke) – who penned the hits “Blue Moon” and “My Funny Valentine” – is at the bar.

It’s the opening night of Oklahoma!, the new show by his former creative partner, Richard Rodgers (Scott).

Knowing he should absolutely avoid drinking, Hart sits frustrated, yearning for a tipple and contemplating both his professional and personal future.

He’s in a slump, and hopes to rekindle the collaboration with Rodgers.

At the same time, he awaits the arrival of the latest object of his desire, a much younger college student (Qualley, The Substance, SFF 2024).

Unfolding in real time and imbued with sparkling wit, Blue Moon is a profound meditation on the cost of making art, and a sheer delight.
