On The Town, set in wartime 1944 and inspired by Jerome Robbins’ ballet, “Fancy Free,” is the story of three sailors’ adventurous 24-hour leave in New York City. Their fabulous day-long journey is spurred by a search for sailor Gabey’s dream girl, “Miss Turnstiles.” Along the way, each sailor falls in love with a woman, and with New York City itself. Songs include “New York, New York,” “Some Other Time,” and “I Can Cook Too.”

"The fleet’s in this weekend, at least on 55th Street, where a radiant production of “On the Town” has docked at City Center through Sunday. Hop aboard the celestial subway train of Leonard Bernstein’s piping, pumping, altogether transporting music — this was the first of his handful of Broadway shows — and you’ll be whisked back to a time when New York, New York, was a wonderland of pleasure, romance and hot fun. Especially if you were a sailor with 24 hours to fill and found comely company to join you."
