Hale Centre Theatre is currently staging HARMONY, a musical based on the true story of a group whose music brought joy during one of history's darkest times, with book and lyrics by Bruce Sussman and music by Barry Manilow.
The post-Broadway premiere of HARMONY on Hale Centre Theatre’s Jewel Box Stage is a riveting musical dramedy filled with stirring musical performances, lively humor, and the visceral dread of Nazi Germany. It rivals the Broadway production itself in its ability to grab a hold of the audience and induce them to both laughter and tears.
