Hull Independent Cinema: Blue Moon

About the show

Set on the night of the 1943 premiere of Oklahoma!, the film follows lyricist Lorenz Hart, once famed as part of the songwriting duo Rodgers-Hart. At a party in Manhattan’s legendary Sardi’s restaurant, Hart watches with bitter jealousy as his former partner celebrates success with a new collaborator. Haunted by alcoholism, unresolved love, and professional rejection, Hart drifts through the night, trying to flirt with a younger woman, reminiscing about past glories, and wrestling with his fading relevance and the painful truth that the world — and Broadway — has moved on without him.
