STAGE TUBE: Sheldon Harnick, Robert Cuccioli and Company Preview Rothschild & Sons

Take a sneak peak at the York Theatre Company's production of Jerry Bock, Sheldon Harnick and Sherman Yellen's ROTHSCHILD & SONS, a reimagined version of their 1970 Broadway musical, THE ROTHSCHILDS. Harnick, Yellen and director Jeffrey B. Moss talk about the musical's inception and why its issues are still relevant in 2015, while stars Robert Cuccioli, Glory Crampton and company sing from the rich and passionate score. Rothschild & Sons launches the York Theatre Company's 2015/16 season with the full involvement of the creators-Sheldon Harnick, Sherman Yellen and the estate of Jerry Bock. Based on their original The Rothschilds, inspired by the book of the same name by Frederic Morton, this intimate one-act reimagining of the musical focuses on the relationships between the patriarch of the family, Mayer Rothschild, his wife Gutele, and their five sons. The work is newly structured and features several songs not included in the original, with new lyrics by Mr. Harnick and a full 11-member cast bringing life to Mr. Yellen's highly relevant story of a family fighting for human rights and triumphing over extraordinary odds. Yellen dubs it a "musical love story about a father and his sons."
