NEW YORK, NEW YORK… AGAIN

After the success of Oklahoma!,
Carnegie Hall launches a five-year celebration
of classic American musicals.

After the sold-out success of Oklahoma! earlier this year, Carnegie Hall and Orchestra of St. Luke’s are making concert musicals an annual tradition. They’ve announced a new five-year series devoted to classic American musicals, beginning January 11 and 12, 2027, with Leonard Bernstein‘s On the Town.

It’s an inspired choice. Bernstein’s exuberant 1944 musical—with book and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green—follows three sailors on a whirlwind 24-hour leave in New York City and features favorites including “New York, New York,” “Some Other Time,” and “I Can Cook, Too.”

Emmy and Grammy winner Rob Berman conducts, with Tony Award winner Shuler Hensley directing, and Chase Brock providing choreography. Casting will be announced later.

If this performance matches the energy and musical polish of January’s Oklahoma!, which Stage and Cinema reviewed, audiences are in for another memorable night at Carnegie Hall.
