Women’s movement pioneer — and the co-founder of the Ms. Foundation — Gloria Steinem will host a special sneak preview of the new musical A Woman of Will May 5 in Manhattan.

The musical, written by Amanda McBroom and Joel Silberman, is scheduled to open at an Off-Broadway theatre-to-be-announced some time in fall 2005. Originally titled Lady Macbeth Sings the Blues, the production premiered in June 2004 at the Rubicon Theatre in Ventura, CA.
