Merkin Concert Hall Presents BROADWAY PLAYHOUSE, 2/14-3/7
Merkin Concert Hall's Broadway Playhouse series continues to introduce New York's next generation of musical theater fans ages 4-11 to some of the greatest Broadway musicals of all time. The 2011 series kicked off with a sold-out celebration of Rodgers & Hammerstein on Jan 9 and continues with Andrew Lloyd Webber on Feb 13. The composer of enduringly popular musicals such as Phantom of the Opera, Sunset Boulevard, Jesus Christ Superstar and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Lloyd Webber has won seven Tonys, three Grammys, seven Oliviers, a Golden Globe, an Oscar, two International Emmys and the Richard Rodgers Award for Excellence in Musical Theatre. The 2011 series concludes with Tom Jones & Harvey Schmidt (The Fantasticks) on March 6.
Directed by Sean Hartley, Broadway Playhouse concerts introduce children to classic musicals through captivating medleys, rousing sing-alongs, games in which audience members participate and mini-musicals telling the story of some of Broadway's most enduring productions. The cast includes Jason Robinson, Kathryn Markey, Martin Landry and Christina Bianco along with Mr. Hartley, who will host, and Music Director Jihwan Kim.
