THE NUTTY PROFESSOR Cast Reunites at Birdland for NYC Debut Tonight

Tonight, February 15 (7PM), the Broadway at Birdland concert series presents the award-winning cast of the 2012 world premiere production of NUTTY PROFESSOR, THE MUSICAL.

Written by Rupert Holmes and the late, great Marvin Hamlisch. Julius Kelp, the social-misfit egghead college Professor, becomes committed to changing himself for the better after meeting progressive and idealistic transfer student Stella Purdy. He concocts a potion that transforms him into crooner, the suave and slick Buddy Love. His radical solution for a personal upgrade works, but not as he predicted.

NUTTY PROFESSOR has a book and lyrics by Tony winner Rupert Holmes and music by the late Tony winner Marvin Hamlisch, who died unexpectedly during the world premiere Nashville run.

Starring Klea Blackhurst, Kristopher Thompson-Bolden, Meghan Glogower, Autumn Gizzard, Fred Inkley, Sarah Jenkins, Alison Little, Charles MacEachern, Marissa McGowan, Lindsay Moore, Ronnie Nelson, Bryce Pinkham, Dominique Plaisant, Jamie Ross, Carly Blake Sebouhian, and Christopher Spaulding.
