Join us for the New York Concert Premiere of the New Musical Blue Roses. Tennessee Williams’ legendary play The Glass Menagerie takes on new musical life in the form of Blue Roses. The classic story of a frustrated writer and his memories of his overbearing mother, his troubled sister, and the gentleman caller who will shatter their world is transformed into a haunting new musical from the team of composer Nancy Ford Charles (I’m Getting My Act Together…) and lyricist and librettist Mimi Turque.

Under the direction of Austin Pendleton (Fiddler on the Roof) and featuring Anita Gillette (Moonstruck), Piper Goodeve (Anne of Green Gables), Jeff Kready (Tootsie), and Howard McGillin (The Phantom of the Opera), Blue Roses makes its New York concert premiere at the York.

Tickets from the 2020 on-sale will be honored; ticket holders will be contacted by a York staff member.

Blue Roses: A One-Night Concert is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature.

Music & Lyrics: IRVING BERLIN

Book: BARRY KLEINBORT

Musical Director: DAVID HANCOCK TURNER

CHEEK TO CHEEK: IRVING BERLIN IN HOLLYWOOD is an all-singing, all-dancing celebration of the most famous songs that Irving Berlin composed for the silver screen. Mr. Berlin understood the impact dance had on the public and his melodies, rhythms, and lyrics reflected his love of that art form. Six spectacular performers will perform these magnificent songs and will also tell the stories behind the man who made the music that made the movies dance.

Four-time Tony nominee Randy Skinner (42nd Street, Dames at Sea, Irving Berlin’s White Christmas, and Ain’t Broadway Grand) directs and choreographs an evening featuring an array of classic Berlin tunes from such classic films as Top Hat, Alexander’s Ragtime Band, Holiday Inn, Easter Parade, White Christmas, and many more!
