TheaterMania, 23 August 2021 The National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene has announced its 2022 season, featuring Barry Manilow's Harmony ... Manilow's long-aborning musical Harmony will be presetned March 23-May 8, with Warren Carlyle directing and choreographing. The production was originally scheduled to run during the same period in 2020, though the run was delayed in late 2019 due to a variety of conflicts. With music by Manilow and book and lyrics by Bruce Sussman, Harmony "tells the true story of the Comedian Harmonists, a group of six talented young men, Jewish and gentile, who came together in 1920s Germany and took the world by storm with their signature blend of sophisticated close harmonies and uproarious stage antics. Together they sold millions of records, starred in a dozen films and packed the houses of the most prestigious concert halls around the globe, until the world they knew changed forever. [The show] will be presented in the newly renovated Edmond J. Safra Hall theatre at the Museum of Jewish Heritage.
