Amiel Burns, with musical direction & arrangements by Jeff McDonnell
and produced by Elliott F. Einhorn. There will be a $15 music charge

Sheila Weiler
and Jeff McDonnell will be mining the life and works of Lorenz Hart,
from gems such as Rodgers & Hart's "Manhattan" (The Garrick Gaieties)
to their later collaborations, such as "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered"
(Pal Joey). The stops in between will take a delightfully poignant
look at the life and soul of this improbable and legendary show business
figure ó famed for his social reticence, an incurable romantic, and
a diffident drunk!
Lorenz (Larry)
Hart, dubbed the "Poet Laureate of Broadway," will be forever remembered
for his charm and wit as a lyricist, as well as his longtime collaboration
with that other genius, Richard Rodgers. Hart's deep appreciation
of language gave him such insight into words and their uses that many
of his best lyrics stand apart from their musical context and have
a life of their own. Of all the great lyricists to appear on Broadway
in the 20s and 30s, it was Hart's ear for rhyme, and his ability to
create vivid word pictures, that created some of the most brilliant
popular songs of all time.
Sheila Weiler
is a polished performer who has been praised far-and-wide for her
interpretative skills, her imaginative humor, and her deep appreciation
of song. Jeff McDonnell, the one-man orchestra, is an accomplished
musical director and arranger who will also be lending his voice to
the show.
