By: Caryn Robbins Mar. 10, 2011
"DANNY and SYLVIA: THE DANNY KAYE MUSICAL" the long-running off-Broadway musical at the St. Luke's Theatre, 308 West 46th Street, will begin playing Saturdays at 5 PM as of March 19th. Also of note, Kimberly Faye Greenberg, who co-stars as ‘Sylvia Fine', is also playing the title role in the new musical "One Night with Fanny Brice" at St Luke's Theatre, thus becoming the only actress in New York to be playing leading roles in two legit musicals at the same time! (And in the same theatre!)
The musical love story, with book and lyrics by Robert McElwaine and music by Bob Bain, stars Helen Hayes Award-winner Brian Childers as Danny Kaye and Kimberly Faye Greenberg as his wife and creative partner, Sylvia Fine who wrote many of his most famous songs. Directed by Pamela Hall with choreography by Gene Castle, the musical follows the duo from the time the young undisciplined comic Danny Kaminsky meets aspiring songwriter Sylvia Fine at an audition in the 1930s. Under Sylvia's guidance as mentor, manager and eventually, wife, Kaye rises from improvisational comic to international film star. The musical explores their inspired collaboration and the romance and conflict that made them such a volatile and successful couple. Many of Danny's hit songs are featured including "Tchaikovsky," "Anatole of Paris," "Minnie the Moocher" and "Deenah." The musical has been presented successfully in London and Washington, DC.Beginning March 19th, 2011 the performance schedule is Saturdays at 5 PM. The musical opened off-Broadway on Wednesday, May 13th, 2009. Tickets at $36.50 and $59.50 are available through www.TeleCharge.com or (212) 239-6200. Premium seats at $75 are also available.
