Harmony Producer’s Picks
Tuesday, January 23, 7 pm ET

Ethel Barrymore Theatre
243 West 47th Street
New York, NY

Six remarkably talented young men form a singing group and become international sensations: The Comedian Harmonists. They sell millions of records, star in major motion pictures and play the biggest theaters around the world. By 1935, they were never heard from again. What happened? That’s the extraordinary true story of Harmony. Harmony features an original score by Tony, Grammy and Emmy Award winner Barry Manilow with lyrics and book by longtime collaborator and Drama Desk Award winner Bruce Sussman. Directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Warren Carlyle (The Music Man, Hello Dolly!), this timely and captivating rags-to-riches story lost to history comes to dazzling life with a sensational cast of Broadway favorites, including Sierra Boggess (The Phantom of the Opera), Julie Benko (Funny Girl) and Chip Zien (Into the Woods).
