Lauren Bacall made a triumphant return to Broadway in this Tony Award-winning musical adaptation of the famous Tracy/Hepburn film. Tess Harding is a high-powered anchorwoman of a network TV morning news show. She makes some derogatory remarks about comic strips on the air and comes head-to-head with Sam Craig, a famous cartoonist who introduces a lampoon of Tess into his comic strip. The feud turns to romance and marriage, but not to harmony, in this delightful battle of the sexes between two outsized egos.

Review: ACCOMMODATION | Broadway World
“The teacher, Celeste Dawkins is vividly portrayed with all her emotional baggage by Sandy Bainum, her every move reflecting her overwhelming dedication to teaching as well as her ever-exploding anger when challenged by anyone as to her ability to do her job well.”
NoHo Arts Review of “Accommodation”
““Accommodation” is an extraordinary play. Truly. And this cast of brilliant, mostly female actors is absolutely incredible. They leave it all on the stage, as they say, with their riveting and poignant performances.”
Accommodation Review – Splash Magazines
“The talented cast does an excellent job of studying the issues from multiple perspectives. ACCOMMODATION is strongly recommended for parents, teachers, students, and – given the impact of these concerns on society as a whole – every citizen.”
Accommodation Review – Stage Raw
“Bainum is a veritable force of nature as the volatile, disillusioned and burned-out teacher. Her quicksilver emotions roll out effortlessly, smoothly and fully. Bradshaw is sympathetic and utterly believable as a desperate parent advocating for her son.”
Accommodation Review – Stage Scene LA
“Like TV’s Abbott Elementary, Greg Burdick’s Accommodation shines a much-needed spotlight on a public school system in crisis. It is this summer’s first absolute must-see.”
