DON’T JUST RUN, RACE TO THIS SUPERB NEW MUSICAL!
TIMELY, HEARTFELT, AND STIRRING.
DEFIANTLY LIFE-AFFIRMING AND JOYOUS.
Songs that create a sense of out-of-time inevitability, yet they also remain grounded in the story: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FORGET WHY WE ARE WATCHING THE SHOW.
A FASCINATING PIECE OF HISTORY WITH STELLAR SINGING AND AN EXTRAORDINARY COMPANY OF ACTORS. The musical’s greatest asset is the sextet of musicians who all sing sublimely, together and apart.
HARMONY FEELS LIKE A MEGA-WATT BROADWAY MUSICAL. Barry Manilow’s pop prowess is ever-present with memorable melodies sounding as fresh as yesterday. Bruce Sussman provides a crackling, cracking-wise script with a vibrant, frenetic feel. Every element of Harmony clicks in place like a gorgeous puzzle. And that’s Harmony’s greatest thrill. It demonstrates the power of making humanity sing, even in our darkest hours.
With its gorgeous harmonics superbly sung, an enveloping story and rich, stylish numbers, IT’S TIME FOR HARMONY.
AN ENGAGING AND HEARTFELT MUSICAL ABOUT A TIME WE MUST NEVER FORGET. Broadway mainstay Warren Carlyle directs and whimsically choreographs an exuberant and talented young cast through a tuneful of lush and lovely melodies by Barry Manilow.

JOYFUL, PROFOUNDLY MOVING, and CRACKLING-GOOD! It all gets a high-gloss polish thanks to director-choreographer Warren Carlyle. Chip Zien gives his most remarkable performance in a long career.
HARMONY LETS COMEDY SING IN THE UNLIKELIEST OF PLACES. Warren Carlyle draws out the show’s winking charm and bubbling physicality. Harmony proves that joy is worth a lot—by delivering it in spades.
THROUGH THE CLASSIC ART OF TELLING AN UNSUNG STORY WELL, HARMONY IS SUNG GORGEOUSLY—AND SIX TIMES OVER.
HARMONY’S SOARING MELODIES AND EXQUISITE ARRANGEMENTS tap into what has made Barry Manilow a musical icon for more than 50 years – an unapologetic romanticism.
RIVETING! What’s most extraordinary about Harmony is how little is in need of embellishment. Under the direction of Broadway pro Warren Carlyle, Harmony is a moving true story and a crowd-pleasing entertainment that echoes an impressive number of familiar glories.
DAZZLING! First-rate music, acting, singing, dancing, comedy, and lots of drama. Sean Bell, Danny Kornfeld, Zal Owens, Eric Peters, Blake Roman, and Steven Telsey exude boyish, winning charm. Chip Zien delivers one magic moment after another.
