Broadway Direct, 28 April 2023 Harmony, the new musical which features a score by Barry Manilow and Bruce Sussman, will open on Broadway this fall at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre. Performances of Harmony will begin October 18, 2023, with an official opening set for November 13, 2023. Casting will be announced at a later date. Directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Warren Carlyle, Harmony comes to Broadway following a sold-out award-winning run last spring at the National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene. Collaborators Manilow and Sussman said, “Broadway is where we always dreamed we would be. Dreams really do come true!” Warren Carlyle added, “I’m so thrilled that we are bringing the amazing, true story of Harmony to Broadway. It’s a great honor and privilege to both direct and choreograph such an important story.” Based on the 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.
