Vaudeville Man!
Book: Jeff Hochhauser
Music: Bob Johnston
Lyrics: Johnston & Hochhauser
BASED ON JACK DONAHUE'S LETTERS OF A HOOFER TO HIS MA
Co-Choreographer: Shonn Wiley
Music Director: Doug Oberhamer
Director & Choreographer: Lynne Taylor-Corbett
Karen Murphy (The Visit at Signature) and Shonn Wiley (No No Nanette for Encores!) star in this new musical based on the life of legendary eccentric tap dancer Jack Donahue (portrayed on film by Ray Bolger) and his mother--who fights to keep her son off the wicked vaudeville stage. This Perfect Pitch Musical (NYTheatre.com) was first seen by York audiences as part of Yorks Developmental Reading Series. As Mud Donahue and Son, it became the break-out hit of last season's NY Musical Theater Festival, having tap-danced its way into the hearts of audiences and critics alike. York Theatre and producer Melanie Herman -- the team that brought you The Musical of Musicals (The Musical!)--reunite to bring you what Talkin Broadway proclaimed a tour de force.
