A story needed now more than ever, with an extremely talented cast, it is sad to hear that producers Ken Davenport, Sandi Moran and Garry Kief announced that the Broadway production of Harmony (a New York Times Critic Pick) will play its final performance at the Barrymore Theatre on Sunday, February 4, 2024. The Barry Manilow/Bruce Sussman musical will have played 96 performances and 24 previews at the time of its closing. Harmony opened at the Barrymore Theatre (243 W 47th St) on November 13, 2023.
Directed and choreographed by Warren Carlyle, the cast stars Chip Zien, Sierra Boggess, Julie Benko, Allison Semmes, Andrew O’Shanick and the Harmonists: Sean Bell, Danny Kornfeld, Zal Owen, Eric Peters, Blake Roman, and Steven Telsey. They join the complete company which includes Zak Edwards, Dan Hoy, Bruce Landry, RhonniRose Mantilla, Daniel Z. Miller, Benjamin H. Moore, Matthew Mucha, Constantine Pappas, Kayleen Seidl, Kyla Stone, Bronwyn Tarboton, Kate Wesler, Stuart Zagnit, and Lee Zarrett.
Based on an unbelievable true story, Harmony tells the tale of the most successful entertainers you’ve never heard of. . . until now. In the 1920s and 30s, The Comedian Harmonists sold millions of records, made dozens of films, and sold-out the biggest theaters around the world. Their heavenly harmonies and musical comedy antics catapulted these six talented young men from singing in the subway tunnels of Berlin to international superstardom.What happened next is the story of Harmony.
The music from Harmony lives on with the Cast Recording on Ghostlight Records available on Amazon and all streaming platforms.Tickets for remaining performances are available starting at $59 via www.telecharge.com, or by calling (800) 447 7400 or (212) 239-6200. www.harmonyanewmusical.com
