ABOUT HARMONY A NEW MUSICAL:

Berlin, 1927.

 

Six remarkably talented young men form a singing group who become international sensations: The Comedian Harmonists. They sell millions of records, star in major motion pictures, and play the biggest theaters around the world. By 1935, they were never heard from again. What happened? That’s the extraordinary true story of HARMONY.

 

Featuring an original score by Tony®, Grammy® and Emmy® Award winner Barry Manilow with lyrics and book by long-time collaborator and Drama Desk Award winner Bruce Sussman, HARMONY has been hailed by The New York Times as a Critic’s Pick and “impossible to forget.”

 

Directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Warren Carlyle (The Music Man,  Hello Dolly!), this timely and captivating rags-to-riches story lost to history comes to dazzling life with a sensational cast of Broadway favorites, including Sierra Boggess (Phantom of the Opera), Julie Benko (Funny Girl), and Chip Zien (Into the Woods).

 

Harmony is based in part on The Comedian Harmonist Archive as curated by the late Dr. Peter Czada.
