York
Theatre Company Concert Celebrates Australian Performers
THE
YORK THEATRE at Saint Peter's Church (619 Lexington Avenue, NYC, Entrance
on 54th - 212-935-5820 ext. 25 - http://www.yorktheatre.org/)
(James Morgan, Artistic Director, Louis Chiodo, Consulting Managing
Director), will present a celebration of new theatrical talent from
Australia on Saturday, September 20th, at 8:00 pm. The concert will
feature singers Simon Gleeson, Natalie O'Donnell and Deone Zanotto,
dancers Ashley Warren and Adam Williams. Music Director is Luke Hunter.
All have significant credits in Australia, and none have appeared
previously in the United States. Tickets for the event are $45, $75
and $150 (the last two include priority seating and a reception following
the performance).
The evening
will include a variety of music ranging from contemporary arrangements
of cabaret standards to musical theatre, and feature works from new
Australian writers. The concert will include solo pieces, duets and
trios, and will be choreographed by renowned young Australian Ashley
Wallen, who most recently provided dances for an extensive project
of Kylie Minogue's in Melbourne. The three vocalists have between
them had leading roles in such Australian productions as "Les Miserables,"
"Mama Mia!," "South Pacific," "Into The Woods," "Jolson," "West Side
Story," "Chicago," "Gypsy," "Fame," "Pacific Overtures," and "Footloose."
The York
is the only theatre in the city and one of few in the world which
presents an entire season of fully-produced new musicals, and historically-significant
musicals from the past in its acclaimed "Musicals in Mufti" series.
It also presents a Developmental Reading Series of new works throughout
the year. The company's Australian connection began two-and-a-half
years ago, when it presented "Prodigal," by two young Australian writers,
the first musical from 'Down Under' to be seen in the US. The show
did extremely well, and the CD of the York cast, on the Jay Records
label and featuring Kerry Butler and Alison Fraser, has been featured
on a number of best-selling CD lists.
