Jones, Schmidt to Make Special Appearance at Merkin Concert Hall's Broadway Playhouse, 3/6
Directed by Sean Hartley, Merkin Concert Hall's Broadway Playhouse concerts introduce New York's next generation of musical theater fans age 4-11 to some of the greatest Broadway musicals of all time. The 2011 Broadway Playhouse series concludes with the musicals of Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, creators of The Fantasticks, 110 in the Shade and I Do! I Do!
The concert includes sing-alongs, medleys, games celebrating the theme of "Imagination" and songs and scenes from The Fantastiks and I Do! I Do!. This show also introduces a brand new element: Merkin's first ever Broadway Playhouse scene-writing contest. Children from four NYC public schools - P.S. 84, 124, 152 and 859 (Kaufman Center's Special Music School) - have been invited to submit one-page scenes. The winner's work will be performed by Broadway Playhouse cast members Jason Robinson, Kathryn Markey, Martin Landry, Christina Bianco and Sean Hartley.
For information about a Monday morning performance for school groups on March 7, please call 212 501 3366.
