The dictionary gives others words for BEST. EXCELLENT, EFFECTIVE, PERFECT, UNSURPASSED, PREEMINENT, HIGHEST QUALITY etc. None of those are sufficient enough to describe the Songs, the Arrangements, the Performers, the Musicians, David Zippel and of course the great Cy Coleman in a production at 59E59. From the moment a smiling Billy Stritch (performer, musical director and arranger of the show) entered the stage and went to the piano, it was obvious that a musical tour de force was about to begin and The Best Was Yet To Come!
31 Cy Coleman songs performed by David Burnham, Salley Mayes, Howard McGillin Billy Stritch, Lillias White, Rachel York, and a first rate orchestra was all you will need for your Broadway Musical Theatre Fix this year.THE BEST IS YET TO COME is playing at 59E59 till July 3 Devised & Directed by David Zippel & Choreographed by Lorin Latarro. Musical direction & Arrangements by Billy Stritch - Presented by Rubicon Theatre Company.Photo Credit: Stephen Sorokoff
