York Theatre will host 15th Anniversary Musical of Musicals (The Musical!) Gala

2/28/2018 3:20pm


The York Theatre Company (James Morgan, Producing Artistic Director; Evans Haile, Executive Director), dedicated to the development of new musicals and the preservation of musical gems from the past, has announced a special gala celebration of the 15th anniversary of the Off-Broadway hit The Musical of Musicals (The Musical!) with music by Eric Rockwell, lyrics by Joanne Bogart, and book by Eric Rockwell and Joanne Bogart. Director Pamela Hunt returns to recreate her original staging for this festive occasion. The event will take place on Mon April 9 with a Festive Gala Reception beginning at 6:30 PM followed by a performance at 8:00 PM at the York Theatre Company at Saint Peter’s.  Cast and additional creative team will be announced shortly. "The Musical of Musicals (The Musical!)" pays loving tongue-in-cheek tribute to Broadway’s Rodgers & Hammerstein, Stephen Sondheim, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jerry Herman, and Kander & Ebb. An innocent ingénue is threatened by her evil landlord when she can’t pay her rent. This one story is delightfully told in five musicals in these different styles in this Off-Broadway hit, which started at The York and ran for over 500 NYC performances.   For additional information, pricing and reservations, please call the York Theatre Box Office at (212) 935-5820, or visit the website online at www.yorktheatre.org.
