The acclaimed Musicals in Mufti Series returns to The York this winter celebrating the centennial of legendary librettist and lyricist ALAN JAY LERNER.
Musicals in Mufti: Carmelina
Jan 26 - Feb 3
Based on the 1968 film, Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell (which also inspired the book for the Broadway musical Mamma Mia!), Carmelina focuses on an Italian woman who has raised her teenage daughter to believe her father was an American who died heroically in World War II. She goes on to collect child support checks from three American soldiers, each of whom thinks he is the father.
Musicals in Mufti: The Day Before Spring
February 9 - 17
The York revisits one of Lerner and Loewe’s lesser known gems with the short-lived 1945 The Day Before Spring. A married woman attends a college reunion where she meets the man with whom she almost eloped ten years before. Romantically stirred by a novel he has written about her, she considers leaving her husband and reuniting with her former flame.
Musicals in Mufti: Lolita, My Love
Feb 23 - Mar 3
Based on the novel Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
The musical, which originally closed in Boston in 1971, closely follows the legendary novel: a college professor named Humbert Humbert becomes fascinated by and starts to seduce his landlady's young daughter, Dolores "Lolita" Haze. The fascination quickly turns into obsession, and soon a whirlwind race across the US begins.
