The whimsical Tom Jones-Harvey Schmidt musical Mirette will be presented as part of the York Theatre Company's Musicals in Mufti series from December 16th through 18th.

Drew Scott Harris will direct the piece, which boasts a score by Jones and Schmidt (The Fantasticks, 110 in the Shade) and a book by Elizabeth Diggs.
According to press notes, the show revolves around the "unusual friendship between the strong-willed, ten year-old Mirette and The Great Bellini, a jaded tightrope walker who's lost his nerve. When Bellini stages a comeback only to find himself paralyzed with fear, Mirette helps him regain his courage."The York Theatre Company is located at 619 Lexington Avenue at the corner of 54th Street.
