—Musical Theatre Review

  

The York Theatre Company presents the limited virtual reprise of Ute Lemper: Rendezvous With Marlene, a magical fusion of theatre and cinema, gorgeous music that will take you on an intense journey. When Marlene Dietrich phoned a young singer out of the blue, the icon stayed on the line for an unforgettable three hours. 30 years later Broadway and West End star Ute Lemper reveals all in her 5-star critically acclaimed show. Following sold out performances at The York in the fall of 2019 and around the world, Ute Lemper: Rendezvous With Marlene has been adapted for the screen with special effects to enhance the production. It was streamed online after being filmed at Club Cumming in New York. Alan Cumming and Ute Lemper are producers.

“Ute Lemper: Rendezvous With Marlene means a lot to me,” says Ms. Lemper. “It is my personal homage to that great lady. There are many portraits of Marlene out there, but this one is coming from my heart. Audiences are in for an incredible story; history, fate, courage, style, politics, glamour and sex, talent and a huge career.”

York Theatre Company: IN THE PIPELINE—A discussion and presentation

IN THE PIPELINE

Writers on Works in Development

 Thursday, March 11th, @ 8PM (ET) 

In The Pipeline is The York's newly-named streaming series featuring writers and composers discussing their in-progress musicals, accompanied by selections from the shows.   Hosted by York's Associate Artistic Director Gerry McIntyre and York's Literary Manager Seth Christenfeld   The series is made possible by generous donations from Joan Ross Sorkin and the Dorothy Strelsin Foundation.   Featuring   15 Minutes More... Conceived by Joe Langworth and Steve Marzullo Book and Lyrics by Joe Langworth Music by Steve Marzullo   15 Minutes More... explores the decades-long relationship of Frankie and Margaret--an unconventional friendship that evolves into an even more unconventional love story. Spanning over 30 years of love, laughter, and loss, 15 Minutes More is about the decisions we make and how they can change our lives forever in an instant---or, at least, in fifteen minutes.    Mary Marie Book and Lyrics by Chana Wise Music by Carl Johnson Based on the novel by Eleanor H. Porter   It's 1921, and despite the shocked whispers, thirteen-year-old Mary Marie is surprisingly philosophical about her parents' divorce. In fact, she can't wait to observe, first-hand, their inevitable new love stories. But after months of being shuttled between them, she is not quite sure who she is anymore, both parents have become different, and the love story that has developed is not at all what she expected. Mary Marie was part of The York's Developmental Reading Series in May 2019.

York's Show (+ Tell!): Beggar's Holiday Panel, Monday, February 22, at 7PM

YORK'S SHOW (+ TELL!) VIRTUAL CAST REUNION SERIES

 

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 22, AT 7PM Musicals in Mufti, 1999 (Artwork by Hans Friedrichs) Music by Duke Ellington Book and Lyrics by John Latouche and Dale Wasserman   Based on The Beggar's Opera by John Gay     Music Direction by J. Leonard Oxley   Musical Supervisor Luther Henderson Directed by Kent Gash

Join us as we revisit the 1999 York Musicals in Mufti presentation of the 1946 Broadway musical Beggar's Holiday with music by the incomparable Duke Ellington, and book and lyrics by John Latouche & Dale Wasserman, based on The Beggar's Opera by John Gay.

The raffish denizens of the New York underworld, both black and white, are the subject of Duke Ellington and John Latouche's musical update of John Gay's The Beggar's Opera. Ellington and Latouche transformed the play's locale to a modern American city and turned Macheath into "a pin-stripe-suited mobster, a singing, dancing Bugsy Siegel." The score mixes jazz and blues rhythms with more traditional musical-theater sounds, including comedy numbers for Zero Mostel as Peachum.

Duke Ellington, John Latouche, and Billy Strayhorn

York’s James Morgan, Associate Artistic Director Gerry McIntyre, and theater historian Charles Wright will be joined by creative team members Kent Gash (Director), Erik Haagensen (Consultant), and Joe McConnell (Casting Director), special guest Mercedes Ellington, and cast members Jerry Dixon, Joe Langworth, Amy Jo Phillips, Ken Prymus and Tami Swartz, and more!
