In celebration of the career of Jack Donahue, the fabled eccentric tap dancing star of vaudeville and Broadway, and the subject of the new musical My Vaudeville Man!, the York Theatre is presenting two special events on the December 5th and 6th. Both free events will follow the performance of My Vaudeville Man!
The New York Musical Theatre Festival, in association with Melanie Herman, will present the World Premiere of Mud Donahue & Son, a new musical with book by Jeff Hochhauser, based on Jack Donahue's 'Letters Of A Hoofer To His Ma,' with music by Bob Johnston and lyrics by Johnston & Hochhauser, directed by Tony Award nominated Lynne Taylor-Corbett (Swing!), as part of the 4th Annual NY Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF). Performances will run today through October 7 only, with two additional performance added to accommodate the demand for tickets.
