THE 11TH ANNUAL HARVARD-YALE CANTATA – SEPTEMBER 24 AT 9:30PM
Team Yale will summon some of its formidable musical theater resources to fight Team Harvard in The 11th Annual Harvard-Yale Cantata. This show is a competition of Harvard alumni vs. Yale alumni, as performers and writers. Both schools have renowned songwriter alumni (Harvard: Leonard Bernstein & Alan Jay Lerner, Yale: Cole Porter & Bobby Lopez), although a lot of the appeal comes from younger alums and even current students. Yale leads this series 5-2-1. Last year Harvard scored their second win, in a 32-31 point nail biter.
Derek Speedy returns as the Harvard team captain and Lauren Marut and Soleil Singh join up as Yale team co-captains. Blake Hullinger will be the Harvard music director and James Brandfonbrener serves as the Yale music director. More participants will be announced as the date approaches. Join producer and host Tom Toce for a cutthroat evening of terrific songs and wonderful performers. The critics have raved about past shows. As we always say, you don't have to have gone to West Point to enjoy the Army-Navy game, and you don't have to be affiliated with either school to love The Harvard-Yale Cantata.
The Harvard songwriters will include Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde, Mean Girls), Leonard Bernstein (On the Town, Wonderful Town, Candide, West Side Story), Alan Jay Lerner (Brigadoon, My Fair Lady, Camelot), and Bonnie Raitt (fifteen-time Grammy Award winner).
The Harvard performers include Gabrielle Greene, Laura Sky Herman, Samuel Hines, Blake Hullinger, Liz Kantor, Emma Rogers, Derek Speedy, and Kate Vandermel.
The Yale team is still assembling its repertoire, as the Harvard team has first choice due to its loss last year. Expect Yale to look to some of its powerhouse songwriters (like Cole Porter, Maury Yeston, Adam Guettel, or Robert Lopez) to compete against Harvard's choices. Both teams will round out the evening with songs by younger and/or unheralded songwriters.
The Yale performers include Alaina Anderson, James Brandfonbrener, Sam Bolen, Ryan Bronston, Benjamin Jimenez, Lauren Marut, Malia Munley, Lula Pilar, Sadie Pohl, Emma Rutan, Soleil Singh, Isabella Walther-Meade, and Samantha White.
