Harmony, a new musical by Barry Manilow and Bruce Sussman, will make its New York debut more than 20 years after its world premiere. The National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene will present a seven-week run of the musical at Edmond J. Safra Hall at the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust. Performances begin March 23, 2022, ahead of an April 13 opening.
A bio-musical about a historic male singing group whose members were cobbled together from humble backgrounds, showing in retrospect how they achieved a meteoric rise to fame amid the forces — internal disputes, personal troubles, sociopolitical forces — that threatened to tear it all down. I could be describing Ain't Too Proud, Jersey Boys, or now, Harmony.
