Photo Flash: More Unauthorized Musicology of Ben Folds

Presented by the New York Musical Theatre Festival as part of its first ever Spring Concert series, "More Unauthorized Musicology of Ben Folds" took place on Monday, March 26 at 7pm at the Zipper Theatre (336 West 37th Street).   

Some of Broadway and Off-Broadway's finest talents rocked out to the music of pop sensation Ben Folds, whose offbeat cast of characters, biting lyrics and virtuosic melodies have rocked and touched the music world for over a decade. Directed by Jess McLeod (NYMF's Associate Director of Programming), with music direction by Brian J. Nash, the Folds concert returned by popular demand, having sold out its initial engagement last September when it was presented as part of the 3rd annual New York Musical Theatre Festival.
 
The March 26th concert featured the talents of, among others, Stephen Bogardus (Falsettos), Will Chase (High Fidelity, Lennon), J. Robert Spencer (Jersey Boys), Bob Stillman (Grey Gardens), Chip Zien (Falsettos), Ashley Parker Angel (Hairspray, ABC's "Makng the Band"), Alan Campbell (Contact, Sunset Boulevard), Stephanie D'Abruzzo (Avenue Q), and Lisa Howard ( The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee).  Jess McLeod directed.
