Photo Flash: Mayor Bill de Blasio Celebrates Another Mayor at FIORELLO!
By: Nicole Rosky Sep. 26, 2016
What happens when mayors meet? We found out over the weekend when NYC's Mayor Bill de Blasio met another mayor... well, sort of. De Blasio attended a recent performance of Berkshire Theatre Group (BTG)'s sold-out production of Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick's Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical Fiorello!, which just transferred to Off-Broadway's East 13th Street Theater (136 East 13th Street, between 3rd and 4th Avenues). Check out photos from the special night below!
Fiorello! tells the story of New York's Mayor LaGuardia's rise from an immigrant's son to the feisty congressman who brought down the crooked Tammany Hall political machine. He's also the man singularly responsible for saving City Center from the wrecking ball and transforming it into Manhattan's first performing arts center. Songs from the 1959 show include "Little Tin Box," "Till Tomorrow," "Politics and Poker" and "When Did I Fall In Love?"
