LEGENDS! - a comedy by Tony Award®-winning James Kirkwood (author of A Chorus Line) - centers on two somewhat desperate and waning movie stars: Joan Collins plays Sylvia Glenn, an acerbic film star, reputedly modeled on Joan Crawford;  Linda Evans is the seemingly sweet Leatrice Monsee.

Both actresses are courted by an unscrupulous producer to co-star in his Broadway show, despite the fact that they have hated each other for decades. He convinces both ladies to go along by misleading each of them into believing that she will be starring in the show with Paul Newman.

This hilarious set-up provides the background for the full-blown comic confrontation between these two stage divas and the surprising and riotous resolution, played to the hilt by the two stars who the world knows as "rivals to the death" from the hit television series Dynasty.

This riotous comedy about big stars, big egos and big hair will play the National en route to its Great White Way opening.

In the 1980s, soap stars Joan Collins and Linda Evans sent ratings soaring as Dynasty's glamorous enemies, Alexis and Krystle.  Now they are reuniting as formidable divas in "Legends".

LEGENDS! is directed by John Bowab. He is joined by an illustrious design team, including Phil Monat (Lighting), Jesse Poleshuck (Set), with Costumes by Nolan Miller, whose Emmy Award-winning work on Dynasty captivated not only America but also the world.

LEGENDS! is produced by Ben Sprecher, whose recent Broadway credits include The Odd Couple, starring Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick.

Collins made her Broadway debut - and her National Theatre debut - in the revival of Noel Coward's PRIVATE LIVESLEGENDS! will mark Evans' Broadway debut.
