Betty Comden and Adolph Green, 1991 recipients of
the Kennedy Center Honors, began writing and performing their own
comic material in the late 1930s with their friend Judy Holliday.
(In later years, they returned to the stage in revues.) In 1944,
they joined Leonard Bernstein and Jerome Robbins on what was the
first show for all of them, On the Town, in which they also appeared.
Shows for which they wrote the book and/or lyrics include Bells
Are Ringing ,Wonderful Town, Do Re Mi, Subways are For Sleeping,
Peter Pan, Applause, Hallelujah, Baby!, On the Twentieth Century
and The Will Rogers Follies. Five of these won them six Tony Awards.
Screenplays include Singin' in the Rain, The Band Wagon, It's Always
Fair Weather, Good News and The Barclays of Broadway, and films
of On the Town and Bells Are Ringing, garnering two Oscar nominations.
Multiple award-winning international cabaret, concert
and musical theater artists KT Sullivan and Mark Nadler's recent
Oak Room shows elicited praise from critics and audiences alike.
As solo performers, KT recently appeared with Michael Feinstein
at Zankel Hall and at Neue Gallerie in her bi-lingual tour de force,
"Vienna to Weimar." Mark created and performs "Tschaikowsky (and
Other Russians)" in concert and the off-Broadway revue, "American
Rhapsody."
