59E59 Theaters (Elysabeth Kleinhans, Artistic Director; Peter Tear, Executive Producer) is thrilled to announce that the Rubicon Theatre in California is bringing their critically acclaimed production of THE BEST IS YET TO COME: THE MUSIC OF Cy Coleman to Americas Off Broadway.

THE BEST IS YET TO COME: THE MUSIC OF Cy Coleman is devised and directed by Tony Award-winner David Zippel. It begins previews on Tuesday, May 18 for a limited engagement through Sunday, July 3. Opening Night is scheduled for Wednesday, May 25.

Six Broadway stars (accompanied by an eight-piece band) headline this Off Broadway revue of Cy Coleman showstoppers helmed by Tony Award-winner David Zippel. Songs includes favorites from Broadway (Sweet Charity, City of Angels, Little Me, The Will Rogers Follies); pop hits made famous by the likes of Bennett, Sinatra and Streisand; and new songs written toward the end of Coleman's prolific life (which prove the best really IS yet to come!).

THE BEST IS YET TO COME: THE MUSIC OF Cy Coleman features a "best of Broadway" cast including Tony Award-winner Lillias White, Grammy Award-winner Billy Stritch, Helen Hayes Award-winner David Burnham (Wicked), Tony Award-nominee Sally Mayes, multiple Tony Award-nominee Howard McGillin, and Drama Desk Award-winner Rachel York (City of Angels).

Billy Stritch is the musical director and conductor. The choreographer is Lorin Latarro. Orchestrations are by Don Sebesky.

THE BEST IS YET TO COME: THE MUSIC OF Cy Coleman sold out the Rubicon Theatre in Ventura, California when it premiered in 2009 to critical acclaim. It makes its NY premiere at Americas Off Broadway at 59E59 Theaters.
